Rotation tool
First Claim
1. A rotating tool having a central longitudinal axis, said rotating tool comprising:
- an engagement member, comprising an elastomeric compound, being configured to engage a rotatable object such that the rotatable object rotates at any angle relative to the rotating tool;
a shaft portion being configured to be inserted in a tool holder;
said shaft portion having a first end connected to said engagement member and a second end opposite said first end;
said shaft having one or more of the following attributes;
a portion of the shaft is flexible, the shaft is telescoping.

Abstract
A tool for assessing rotatable objects in an engine by selectively imparting a rotation to a chosen number of the rotatable objects that includes an engagement member, a shaft portion, and a motor as a rotation source. In the preferred embodiment, the engagement member mounted on a first end of the shaft engages the rotatable object. A support member means is mounted on a second end of the extendable member or on the shaft. A rotation source is used to impart rotation on shaft and engagement member and thus to the rotatable object to be rotated as may be required to facilitate for the testing and adjustment procedures to be performed upon the rotatable member.

2. A rotating tool comprising:
-
an engagement member, comprising an elastomeric compound, being configured to engage a rotatable object such that the rotatable object rotates along a longitudinal axis parallel to but not collinear with the longitudinal axis of the rotating tool; a shaft portion having a central longitudinal axis; a housing; a motor encased in the housing; said shaft portion having a first end connected to said engagement member and a second end connected to said motor; and a locking interconnect for attaching the engagement member to the shaft, the locking interconnect being adapted to selectively permit rotation of the engagement member relative to the housing about the longitudinal axis of the shaft said shaft having one or more of the following attributes;
a portion of the shaft is flexible, the shaft is telescoping.
