Power Tool Would Require Little Bracing Torque

Proposed rotary power tool exerts required torque on workpiece, but little or no bracing torque applied to tool to keep it from turning in opposite direction. Instead, working torque neutralized by nearly equal and opposite torque generated within tool. Used easily underwater, on slippery surfaces, or in other environments in which external bracing of tool against rotation difficult or impossible. Minimizes armbreaking forces resulting from tool binding.
