Abstract:
Disclosed are aspects of exemplars of torque-limiting devices, methods and mechanisms. Exemplary methods may include placing an actuator in a tool containment interface of a handle, the interface being fluidly connected to an adjustment interface and adjustable via a fixation fastener; movably mounting a tool portion with an actuation catch and a work piece engaging region (WER) in the interface; applying sufficient force to the movable mounting to the handle may be via pins, guides and slots. Said catch may be one of a body catch and a lever catch; and, the actuator terminates on one of a ball shaped end that forms an interface with the body catch and a force lever that forms an interface with the lever catch.
