Abstract
A device for testing the torque required to break the seal of a medicine vial is comprised of a torque gauge mounted on a base. The torque gauge has an armature which is adapted to hold the bottom of a medicine vial. A torque arm is attached to a cylindrical unit made up of a housing and a concentric handle connected together by a coil spring such that the coil spring can be opened by turning the housing relative to the handle so that the spring fits over the cap of a vial and holds it securely when turned in a direction which tends to tighten the coils of the spring.
