Abstract
Presented herein are torque limiting drive tools for use with, for example, components of a medical device. A torque limiting drive tool in accordance with aspects presented herein comprises an elongate handle/body and a plurality of torque arms located at a distal end of the handle, where the plurality of torque arms define an opening configured to longitudinally (axially) receive a drive bit. The plurality of torque arms are each directly mechanically attached to the handle and are configured to exert a torque on the drive bit in direct response to rotation of the elongate body in each of a first direction of rotation and a second direction of rotation.
