Abstract:
1. A tool for torquing fasteners, comprising: a plurality of fastener structures, each configured to engage one of said fasteners; an actuator operatively engageable with said plurality of fastener structures, said actuator being movable between a first position and a second position; a body portion; a plurality of index pins that engage and align said body portion with a structure, at least one of said index pins being configured to move between a retracted position generally out of engagement with the structure and an extended position in engagement with the structure; and an index pin actuator that moves said at least one of said index pins between said retracted position and said extended position, wherein in said first position, said actuator being configured to prevent rotation of at least one of said plurality of fastener structures during torquing of a fastener by opposing a torsional load induced in said at least one of said plurality of fastener structures by said fastener; and wherein in said second position, said actuator being configured to simultaneously substantially eliminate said torsional load in said plurality of fastener structures.
