Torque limiting devices, tools comprising torque limiting devices, and methods for using torque limiting devices are disclosed. A torque limiting device can include a first and a second surface disposed in engageable relationship. Within a predetermined torque range, the first and second surfaces can rotate together such that a torque applied to the first surface is translated to the second surface. When the torque applied exceeds a predetermined torque limit, the first and second surfaces can disengage from each other, preventing translation of the excessive torque between the surfaces and any attached implements. By freely rotating one disengaged surface relative to the other surface, the surfaces can be re-engaged to operate the device. |
