Abstract
An electronic torque wrench a wrench head unit adapted to engage and turn a fastener, a tubular first wrench body securely engaged with the wrench head unit, a tubular second wrench body coupled and aligned with the first wrench body by a fitting member to permit rotation of the second wrench body relative to the first wrench body, a mounting shell sleeved on the second wrench body for mounting a display unit to provide a display representing a measured torque. By rotation of the second wrench body, the display unit can be adjusted to a desired angular position for being viewed easily by the user.

An electronic torque wrench comprising:
- a wrench head adapted to engage and turn a fastener about a torque axis;
- a joint segment extending radially from said wrench head relative to the torque axis for mounting a strain gauge thereon;
- a tubular first wrench body which extends along a lengthwise axis and which includes a front tubular end fittingly engaged and secured with said joint segment, and a rear tubular end opposite to said front tubular end;
- a tubular second wrench body which is disposed rearwardly of and which is aligned with said rear tubular end along the lengthwise axis, and which includes front and rear tubular portions opposite to each other;
- a fitting member disposed to couple said rear tubular end of said first wrench body with said front tubular portion of said second wrench body to permit rotation of said second wrench body relative to said rear tubular end about the lengthwise axis, and to permit said first wrench body to transmit a torque applied on said rear tubular portion to said wrench head;
- a mounting shell which is sleeved on said front tubular portion;
- and
- a display unit disposed on said mounting shell to provide a display representing a torque measured by the strain gauge.
