Talk:Tension wrench

Torsion
Shouldn't this article be called "Torsion wrench"?

It seems that "torsion" devolved into "tension" somewhere in years past, perhaps due to word-of-mouth or mishearing the word, but "tension" has nothing to do with the twisting force these tools supply, whereas "torsion" does. A "tension wrench" by definiton stretches something. A "torsion wrench" twists something.
 * You raise a good point, but it's always been my experiance that these tools are referred to in the trade as tension wrenches. I've never seen the term torsion wrench used Ydam 12:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I as well have always heard them referred to as "tension wrenches" but last night my roomate was discussing my tools with me and referred to it as a "torsion wrench" -- this got me interested in the distinction. I feel we should add to this article at least, offering this alternate phrasing, but doesn't wiki forbid original research?  Is there any citation available for this usage?

 * I've added to the article to explain the conflict, while leaving the article title intact. Alvis 06:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
