A tool used for applying specified torque to the backshells of electrical connectors has a cylindrical body of diameter compatible with that of the backshell on which it is used with a cutout on said cylindrical body to allow wires from the connector to be routed away from the tool. A high friction material such as silicone rubber or similar type substance is bonded to the inner lower lip of the tool, below the cutout section, and a clamping means with separable closure and adjustable friction producing strap is bonded to the outer lower lip of the tool across its rear surface and over the front of said cutout. A fitting at the top of the tool is located on the tool\s axis and is designed to accept conventional socket torque wrenches.

An electrical connector backshell torque tool, comprising: a cylindrical shell of suitable material, of selectable length and thickness, with an inner and outer surface, anchor means, retainer means, and an internal diameter slightly larger than the external diameter of an electrical connector backs

An electrical connector backshell torque tool, comprising: a cylindrical shell of suitable material, of selectable length and thickness, with an inner and outer surface, anchor means, retainer means, and an internal diameter slightly larger than the external diameter of an electrical connector backshell; said cylindrical shell having a central axis and an upper and a lower portion, each of said portions having an upper and a lower end thereof; said upper portion having its upper end fitted with a plug and socket means, said socket means dispositioned along said central axis; said lower end of said upper portion and said upper end of said lower portion being integral; said lower portion having a slot therein, said slot comprising a void of said suitable material, said void having first and second generally vertical edges and a horizontal edge coincident with said lower end of said upper portion; said anchor means, for anchoring one end of a bar means, mounted on said outer surface near said lower end of said lower portion adjacent said first generally vertical edge; said retainer means, for retaining another end of said bar means, dispositioned near said lower end of said lower portion adjacent said second generally vertical edge; and said bar means positionable between said anchor means and said retainer means; said bar means fitted with tension adjustment means allowing forces between said anchor means and said retainer means to be controlled as necessary, wherein actuation of said tension adjustment means results in compression of said cylindrical shell around said backshell for applying torque to said backshell.
