A torque limiting wrench adapted to tighten a fastener with either a right- or left-hand thread, which wrench will physically register a predetermined torque requirement when said torque limit is reached upon the tightening of said fastener. The wrench includes a body portion having a longitudinal axis and carried on said body portion and aligned parallel with said longitudinal axis is a deflectable means pivotally connected with said body portion. Mounted on the deflectable means is a conventional wrench socket head adapter to receive a wrench socket head. Release connecting means associated with said body portion and said deflectable means provided remote from the pivotal connection is adapted to be overcome by torque created between the body and fastener as it is tightened to allow the deflectable means to pivot out of parallel alignment with said body portion signaling that the predetermined torque has been reached by said fastener as it is tightened.
