I need a tool and can't remember the name of it. Appreciate any help you can give me.
It's similar to a torque wrench, in that it uses sockets and you can set the inch/ft pounds on it. BUT when that amount of torque is reached the ratchet part of the unit slips and continues to do so, until you stop twisting, then start again. As soon as the proper torque is reached, the unit agaislips. In other words you cannot over torque it.
All the torque wrenches I've seen makes one click and the head bends slightly when the set scale is reached. If you continue to twist the torque wrench it continues to twist the bolt beyond the set torque.
I thought it might be called a torque limiting wrench, but when I searched that name there were only a few hits and the item did not look like the correct tool. I know there must be lots of the type wrench I'm looking for out there someplace.
Thanks
PS Last one of these I owned had a ball on a rod that ran up into the handle. You pulled it out and rotated it to set the torque.
