Abstract:
1. A method comprising steps of: providing a torque multiplier tool with first and second identical input/output connectors operatively connected by a torque multiplying mechanism, a driving tool, and a fastener-nut-engaging socket, the first and second connectors on the multiplier tool each defining identical square sockets and the tool further including a detent stud defining identical opposing square-shafted ends both shaped to selectively matingly engage the square sockets and to engage a square socket on the fastener-nut-engaging socket; the driving tool defining a second mating square-shafted end identical to the opposing square-shafted ends; engaging the square-shafted end of the driving tool with the square socket of the second connector while engaging detent stud between the square socket of the first connector and the square socket of the fastener-nut-engaging socket; engaging the fastener-nut-engaging socket on a fastener and operating the driving tool to provide an increased torque on the fastener-nut-engaging socket to break loose the fastener from a tightened condition; flipping the torque multiplier tool and repositioning the detent stud from the square socket of the first connector to the square socket of the second connector and engaging the driving tool with the square socket of the first connector so that the driving tool directly engages the torque multiplier tool and the fastener-nut-engaging socket engages the detent stud which is in the second connector; and operating the driving tool to provide an increased speed of torsional rotation to run the fastener along a fastener-engaged shaft to more quickly remove the fastener from the shaft.
