Abstract
A torque driver for rotating a component, such as a fastener or nut, components thereof, and associated methods. The torque driver for rotating a component includes a housing having a first set of ratchet teeth. A drive connector is coupled to the housing such that the drive connector and the housing rotate together when the drive connector is rotated by a drive device. An output drive has a second set of ratchet teeth engaged with the first set of ratchet teeth of the housing. The first and second sets of ratchet teeth rotate relative to one another when the torque imparted by the drive device exceeds a predetermined torque. The output drive has a component driver that operatively connects to the component to rotate the component. A torque adjuster is selectively movable relative to the output drive to selectively change the predetermined torque.
