Abstract
A tool attachment includes a first end configured to engage a rotary impact tool, a second end disposed distally from the first end and configured to engage a workpiece, a first concentric body that is coupled to and rotated by the first end, and a second concentric body that is coupled to the second end and rotated by the first concentric body. The second concentric body and the first concentric body are coupled together. The first concentric body rotates relative to the second concentric body to limit the amount of torque delivered from the rotary impact tool to the workpiece.
