Abstract
An electronic torque wrench () comprises a body with an axial extension along a longitudinal axis; a front end provided with a coupling () intended to engage the wrench on a joint to be tightened by manual rotation around a rotation axis () which is transverse to the longitudinal axis (); a handle () along the body for operating the wrench; and a sensor () for detecting a torque applied with the wrench to the coupling () and comprising two flex sensor elements (and) which are arranged spaced apart along the longitudinal axis (). An electronic control circuit () is connected to the sensor () for receiving signals from it and applying a method which comprises the steps of calculating, depending on the flexing values detected by the two sensor elements (and), whether the flexing value detected by the sensor element closest to the front end is less than the flexing value detected by the sensor element farthest from the end front; and, if so, emitting an error signal.
