ABSTRACT:
The wrench for wrenching a shaft or stud comprises a housing having a longitudinal recess therein for mounting the housing over the shaft to be turned. A pawl is pivotably connected to the housing. A first clamping jaw is slidably mounted in the recess. A second jaw is slidably mounted in the recess. The first jaw is disposed for limited rotational and translational movement within the recess so as to open the clamping jaws to allow the tool wrench to be mounted over or to be removed from the shaft. A wrenching actuator is connected to the pawl arm for turning the pawl clockwise and counter-clockwise about the pawl's pivot. A clamping actuator is mounted on the housing for turning the pawl to thereby initially securely clamp the jaws about the shaft to be turned. Wrenching of the shaft can then be accomplished with the wrenching actuator by applying a torque on the pawl in a direction so as to increase the clamping force produced by the jaws and to rotate the shaft together with the housing.
