  • Two handed portable power wrench
    Patent number: 8677862
    Abstract: A hand-held powered wrench includes a primary handle and a secondary handle. A motor is mounted on a primary handle. The secondary handle provides a second hand grip position which is significantly displaced from the primary handle axis, and includes a motor control for starting and stopping the motor. By having the significant displacement of the motor controlling second hand grip position, the operator naturally chooses a better stance and naturally dissociates the motor control hand from the torque sustaining hand in operation of the power wrench. The hand-held powered wrench can be used such as for safely exercising fire hydrant valves.
