Torque controlled clamp stick adapter

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure A torque limiting adapter for an elongated, insulative hot line clamp stick is provided which allows completely safe, accurate take-up of workpieces only to desired torque levels. The adapter preferably includes an elongated tubular, axially rotatable head removably mounted onto the work end of a conventional clamp stick and housing a torque-limiting device; the input of the device is connected to the existing rotatable clamp stick, while the torque output of the device is connected to a manipulative tool, such as a pivotal hook. The tool is coupled to the head such that they rotate in unison until the desired torque level is reached, and is further coupled for …
