Abstract:
A reaction arm, connectable to a torque power tool having a housing provided with first engaging means, said reaction arm having a distal portion adapted to abut against an outside object and a proximal portion connectable with the housing of the torque power tool and provided with second engaging means, said second engaging means being formed so that in an operative position said second engaging means is engageable with the first engaging means of the housing of the torque power tool so as to hold said proximal part on the housing of the torque power tool and so that said second engaging means is disengageable from the first engaging means of the housing of the torque power tool without removal of the reaction arm from the housing of the torque power tool for adjusting the reaction arm into different positions relative to the torque power tool and subsequently said second engaging means is engageable with the first engaging means of the housing of the torque power tool without removal of the reaction arm from the housing to hold the reaction arm on the housing of the torque power tool in a corresponding adjusted position; and means for retaining said proximal portion of the reaction arm on the housing, so that the reaction arm can not be removed from the housing of the torque power tool, said retaining means including a plurality of retaining elements partially inserted in said proximal portion of the reaction arm and also partially insertable in the housing of the torque power tool.
