Abstract
A torquing apparatus is presented having a split ring which engages a member to which a torque load is to be applied. The split ring is initially loaded to establish a threshold friction load between the split ring and the member. The split ring is loaded into gripping engagement with the member during a forward (torque input) operation; and the split ring is released from the member during a return operation to achieve repeated operation without removing the apparatus from the member to be torqued.
