        Description: |  
| Improvements to patents 2,312,104, 2,367,224, and 2,682,796. These patent torque wrench designs all use the amount of twist, rather than flex, of a beam to indicate the torque. This patent provides a design that can work accurately across a wide range of torques, from inch-ounces on up, by changing the "torsion resisting element". |
