Zusammenfassung:A socket adapter for limiting torque delivered from a tool to a socket piece. The socket adapter includes a female receiver that is coupleable to and driven by the tool, and a male drive that is coupled to and driven by the female receiver for transferring torque to the socket piece. The socket adapter further includes a clutch mechanism having a first clutch surface, a second clutch surface that engages the first clutch surface, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a clamping force between the first clutch surface and the second clutch surface. The second clutch surface slides relative to the first clutch surface when a reaction torque exerted on the clutch mechanism exceeds a predetermined torque limit.
