Abstract
The invention involves a self-contained torque-measuring wrench that is provided with an elongated lightweight member between a work-engaging member and a meter spaced therefrom to effectively translate the twist load in the work-engaging member to a calibrated meter with minimum friction and without variation for accurate meter measurement commensurate with the manually applied work-engaging turning load irrespective of whether or not frictional variations should develop owing to departures from the prescribed manual application of the turning force which may inadvertently occur. This is accomplished with an improved twist-translating arm and mount therefor which is subject to minimum frictional displacement and negligible deflection responses even though the applied directional manual force for fastener turning is not entirely in the plane of fastener rotation therewith.
