摘要 |
A floating marine propeller wrench (18) is provided for removing a marine propeller nut (16), and comprises a floating member composed of a material selected to have a specific gravity less than or equal to 1.0, to enable floatation, yet strong enough to apply torque of at least 50 lb.ft. to the nut. The floating member is composed of chemically coupled long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, particularly ten percent glass by weight, one percent foaming agent by weight, and the balance polypropylene. The material is also selected to provide a user detectable slight deflection (70) of a handle portion (24) when approximately 50 lb.ft. is applied to the nut by a socket portion (22), to provide a combined floating marine propeller wrench and torque meter.
