  • Rotary tool
    Patent number: 10099350
    Abstract: A rotary tool is disclosed. The rotary tool can include a first arm and a second arm pivotally coupled to one another at a joint. Ends of the first and second arms are positionable at a variable distance from one another by pivoting the first and second arms at the joint. The rotary tool can also include a first rotatable driver disposed at the end of the first arm, a second rotatable driver disposed at the end of the second arm, and a third rotatable driver disposed at the joint. In addition, the rotary tool can include a drive train operably coupled to the first, second, and third rotatable drivers to transfer torque, such that an input torque applied to one of the first, second, and third rotatable drivers causes torque output at the other rotatable drivers.
