Abstract
A tool adapter includes a body, which is elongated along a first axis. The body includes at least a first side surface that is opposite to the second side surface, as well as a first end surface that is opposite to the second end surface. The body includes a first input drive connector, which is located at a middle section of the body and which is accessible from the first side surface. The first input drive connector is structured to mate with a first drive part of a torque wrench such that a longitudinal axis of the torque wrench is parallel to the first axis when the torque wrench is connected to the adapter. The body includes a first output drive connector that is located at a middle region of the first end surface. The first output drive connector is structured to mate with a first connector part of a tool head such that a longitudinal axis of the tool head is parallel to the first axis when the tool head is connected to the adapter. The first input drive connector is defined to be a first size. The first output drive connector is defined to be a second size, which is different from the second size.
