A gear head wrench particularly suited for use in applying torque to bolts without transferring torsional stresses to bolt-receiving structures. The wrench is characterized by a coupling including a socket, for connecting a bolt head with a torque multiplying gear-train, provided within a housing having an annulus concentrically related to the socket and adapted to be coupled with a spacer interposed between the bolt head and the juxtaposed surface of the bolt-receiving structure for applying a balancing counter-torque to the spacer as torque is applied to the bolt head whereby the bolt-receiving structure is substantially isolated from torsional stress. As a result of the foregoing, the operator of the wrench is substantially isolated from any forces which may be imposed. |
