# Anchor and Release Tool

## Abstract

An anti-slip torque tool that utilizes a pair of teeth designed to virtually eliminate slippage and facilitate torque transfer to a fastener. The tool includes a wrench torque-tool body and at least one engagement element. The wrench torque-tool body includes a plurality of internal sidewalls, an engagement first base, and an engagement second base. The engagement element is laterally integrated into a specific sidewall to provide additional gripping action. To perform this function, each engagement element further includes a first tooth and a second tooth. Both the first tooth and the second tooth are positioned offset from each other, along a sidewall base surface. The first tooth is the anchoring tooth, designed to grip the fastener specifically from off the corner off a male hex fastener. In contrast, the second tooth is the releasing tooth, designed to release the tool from the fastener.
