A torque wrench assembly includes a casing assembly, a click arm, a signaling assembly and a torque-limiting assembly. The casing assembly includes an inward projection. The click arm is disposed within the casing assembly. The click arm has a first end adapted to engage a fastener, and a second end. The click arm is movable between first and second positions. The signaling assembly is coupled to the click arm and configured to engage the casing assembly inward projection when the click arm is moved to the click arm second position whereby the signaling system emits at least one of an audible, tactile, and visual notification. The torque-limiting assembly is disposed within the casing and operably coupled to the click arm second end and configured to permit the click arm to move from the first position to the second positing when a predetermined amount of torque has been reached.
A torque wrench assembly comprising:
The torque wrench assembly of claim 10 wherein the wrench head is an open-end wrench head.
A casing for a torque wrench assembly, wherein the torque wrench assembly is configured to provide a predetermined amount of torque to a fastener in accordance with a predetermined torque setting, the casing comprising:
