Patent attributes
An offset nut driver (“driver”) is implemented which enables machine-generated rotational movement at an input drive to translate to an output spline, and thereby to a socket bit, with minimal user effort. Use of the driver displaces, to a power drill, the human strength element in loosening and tightening bolts. Gears interior to the driver translate the rotational movement from the input drive to the output spline. The input drive may be a hex input rod which can connect to a drill's receptacle, or chuck. The output mechanism may be an output spline to which a socket bit can securely connect. The socket bit can then engage with a nut or bolt for loosening or tightening, in which the rotational torque output by the socket bit is derived from the rotational force exerted against the input rod by, for example, a power drill.
