Abstract (en)

A device for applying torque to a fastener, comprising a first member (1) adapted to be coupled to a fastener, and a second member (3) coupled to the first member (1) by a releasable coupling (2, 13, 19) adapted to transmit torque applied to the second member (3) to the first member (1) and to de-couple the second member (3) from the first member (1) when the torque applied to the second member (3) exceeds a predetermined magnitude; characterised in that the releasable coupling comprises a lost-motion device (2, 13, 19). <IMAGE>
