Manually operable torque producing tool with extensible handle

摘要

Torque tool, especially a ratchet or torque spanner, comprises a tool head, a shaft (4), a handle, a tube section (6), and a tension ring (25). A clamping ring (27) with a slot displaceably arranged on the shaft is clamped to the shaft by the tension ring. An intermediate ring (29) surrounds the clamping ring and the clamping ring has a stop for positioning the intermediate ring and a removal-preventing device (14) restricting the displacement of the shaft in the tube section. Preferred Features: The clamping ring and a support ring (44) are made of plastic and the intermediate ring is made of metal.
