  • Patent number: 5471898
    Abstract: A wrench for driving sockets is provided in the form of a breaker bar with a 90 degree torque rotation head. The wrench includes an elongate handle including a hand grip and a head portion including a cylindrical cavity and a longitudinal bore with an axis parallel to the handle. An intermediate cylindrical barrel is fixed to the head portion and also includes a central longitudinal bore. A central spindle is fixed to the handle and rotates within the cylindrical barrel and the head portion. Fixed to the end of the central spindle is a driving member. A driven member, rotated 90 degrees from the first, is fixed to a rotatable post.
