ABSTRACT:
A torque tool and an associated method are provided which apply operator-defined levels of torque to a threaded fastener. In one aspect, a portable, battery powered torque tool controls the motor to slow further advancement of the threaded fastener once the torque that has been applied to the threaded fastener has reached a predefined threshold. In another aspect, a torque tool monitors a measure of torque applied to a threaded fastener more frequently once the torque applied to the threaded fastener has reached a predefined threshold. A method of defining a mathematical relationship between a first measure provided by a torque transducer of torque applied to a threaded fastener and a second measure provided by a torque measurement reference device of torque applied to the threaded fastener is also provided such that the measure of torque provided by the torque transducer can be calibrated.
