A power tool includes a housing defining a grip portion, a motor having a motor drive shaft, a drive assembly coupled to the motor drive shaft and driven by the motor, an output assembly coupled to the drive assembly and having an output member that receives torque from the drive assembly, causing the output member to rotate about an axis, and a transducer assembly disposed between the grip portion and the output assembly to measure the amount of torque applied through the output member, when the motor is deactivated, in response to the power tool being manually rotated about the axis.

A ratchet wrench having multiple driving modes with torque sensing function includes an annular head, a driving unit, a control unit, a rotary member, a forcing unit and at least one torque sensor. The annular head receives the driving unit therein and a shaft extends from the annular head. The driving unit has a first toothed ring engaged with a first pawl, and a second pawl engaged with inner teeth of the annular head. The rotary member is rotatably inserted in the shaft, and has two ends to the driving unit and the forcing unit respectively. The forcing unit includes a tubular handle and a display unit. The torque sensor is mounted on the shaft. The shaft inserts into an axial chamber of the handle. The torque sensor is positioned between the axial chamber and the shaft. When the shaft is bended by the handle to produce a deformation. The torque sensor senses the deformation of the shaft to generate a torque sensing signal, so that the display unit converts the torque sensing signal to a torque value and displays the torque value.

A communication port interface facilitates charging of a power source, such as a battery, while the power source remains coupled to a tool. The communication port interface also facilitates downloading of torque and/or angle log information from an electronic torque tool to an external device. Torque and/or angle preset job information may be entered in client software and uploaded from the external device to the electronic torque tool via the communication port interface. Additional information including real time clock information and wrench system parameters may be uploaded to the electronic torque tool via the communication port interface.

A tubular body for an electronic torque wrench is integrally formed and includes a small diameter portion, a bridge portion, and a large diameter portion connected along the longitudinal direction of the tubular body. The bridge portion has a small diameter end connected to the rear end of the small diameter portion and an opposite large diameter end connected to the front end of the large diameter portion. As there is no gap at the junction between the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion, the tubular body is dustproof, has a lower production cost and higher structural strength, and makes an electronic torque wrench a better appearance.

A torque tool with a segmented warning effect includes: a tool body having a sensing unit, a processing unit for receiving a sensed value of the sensing unit and comparing the sensed value with a predetermined value to output a comparison value; at least two warning intervals formed by the comparison value of at least two different warning ranges; a warning assembly for providing warning by a primary warning unit and at least one secondary warning unit; the primary warning unit uses at least two colors for different warning intervals, and at least two illuminators of each secondary warning unit to warn at least two stages, the primary warning unit provides a primary warning for the warning interval, and the secondary warning unit at each warning interval forms secondary warnings to let users know about the operating torque quickly.

A setting method for an electronic torque tool is disclosed. The electronic torque tool includes a tool body that stores at least one operation set. The operation set includes at least one adjustable operation parameter of the electronic torque tool. The setting method can be used to adjust the operation parameter in the operation set and includes a setting step and a storing step. The setting step includes entering the operation set and adjusting the operation parameter therein. The storing step includes storing the adjusted operation parameter in the operation set directly after an operator quits the operation set or turns off the electronic torque tool during the setting step. The setting method allows the operation parameter in the operation set to be easily and rapidly set or adjusted, thereby making the electronic torque tool easy to use and operate.

An electric quick action wrench with settable torque, which is operated in an electric mode or a manual mode, includes: a main body, a controller, a motor, a driving device, and a clutch device. The driving device is driven by the motor and combined with a fastener. The controller sets a threshold torque value. In the electric mode, when the fastener confronts a resistance larger than a clutch torque of the clutch device, the user is notified to switch to the manual mode through the notification of the clutch device. In the manual mode, when a manually output torque reaches the threshold torque value, the user is notified that the screwing operation has been finished by the notification of the clutch device. Thus, the safety of usage is achieved.

An electronic wrench includes a base body, at least one sensing element, a processor and at least one prompting unit. The base body includes a working head, and the sensing element is disposed at the base body to detect a working status of the working head so as to provide a sensing signal. The sensing signal includes at least one sensing value. The processor is electrically connected to the sensing element, and the processor includes at least one prompting lower limit value. The prompting unit is electrically connected to the processor and provides a working status prompt. When the sensing value is less than the prompting lower limit value or the sensing value is equal to the prompting lower limit value, the working status prompt is a first nonnumeric prompt.

A method of determining an actual amount of torque and/or angle applied to a work piece by a tool. In an embodiment, the method includes determining a rotational angle, a tilt of the tool, and a measured torque of the tool. The actual amount of torque or angle applied to the work piece is then determined based on the rotational angle, the tilt, and the measured torque.

A power tool includes a housing defining a grip portion, a motor having a motor drive shaft, a drive assembly coupled to the motor drive shaft and driven by the motor, an output assembly coupled to the drive assembly and having an output member that receives torque from the drive assembly, causing the output member to rotate about an axis, and a transducer assembly disposed between the grip portion and the output assembly to measure the amount of torque applied through the output member, when the motor is deactivated, in response to the power tool being manually rotated about the axis.
