A nut temporary tightening device has bearing parts, a first support plate, a second support plate, and socket assemblies. Each bearing part has a cylindrical sleeve extending in an up-down direction and a flange provided at an intermediate portion of the sleeve. The first support plate has a plurality of first support holes that each support a corresponding bearing part along the outer circumference, on an upper end side, of the bearing part. The second support plate has a plurality of second support holes that each support a corresponding bearing part along the outer circumference, on a lower end side, of the bearing part. Each socket assembly has a driving shaft, a driving part, and a socket.

A fastener removal apparatus is configured for removing a nut from a threaded shank and includes a gearbox assembly, an outer socket, and a tubular sleeve member. The gearbox assembly has an input member, a first output member, a second output member, and a plurality of gears. The first output member and the second output member rotation in opposite directions about a longitudinal axis in response to rotation imparted to the input member. The outer socket extends between a first end defining a female polygonal opening and a second end engaged for concurrent rotation with the first output member. The tubular sleeve member extends between a first end defining a threaded opening for receiving threads defined by the threaded shank and a second end engaged for concurrent rotation with the second output member.

A tooling assembly for fastener installation has a socket body reversibly rotatable by a driving mechanism. A bore in the socket body has a first end portion and a central portion incorporating threads. A second end portion of the bore receives and engages a severable section of a frangible fastener. A pin is received in the bore and constrained from rotation by the driving mechanism. The pin has an ejection shaft with mating threads selectively receivable in the threads of the central portion of the bore. The socket body is freely rotatable with the mating threads positioned in the first end portion of the bore. Rotation of the socket body in torques the frangible fastener on a stud fracturing the severable section. Reverse rotation of the socket body engages the mating threads in the threads translating the pin. The ejection shaft ejects the severable section from the second end portion.

A wrench extension device having an input and output, operably coupled together to transmit torque there between. The wrench extension device further includes a housing, with a first and second gear disposed therein. The first and second gear are operably coupled to one another with a chain. The wrench extension device further includes a rib disposed between the first and second gear. The rib includes a tapered portion that, along with an interior wall of the housing defines a tapered space. A tapered space defined by the tapered portion of the rib and the interior wall of the housing; wherein said tapered space is wide enough to allow a chain link to pass both horizontally and vertically, and wherein the area of said tapered space is large enough accommodate at least one additional chain links when the chain is slack as opposed to when it is taut.

This invention relates to a fastener driving device including a variable ratio gear mechanism that enables the ratio of the rotation of the handle to the rotation of a driving bit extending from the handle to be varied to allow the bit to rotate at different speeds from the handle. The device includes a gear mechanism disposed within a housing for the device that includes a locking member. The locking member can be engaged with the gear mechanism to lock the gear mechanism in a configuration for a 1:1 gear ratio. The locking member can be moved with regard to the gear mechanism to provide an increased gear ratio for the gear mechanism when desired.

An oil filter remover includes a main body, a toothed element, three claw elements, and an elastic element. The main body has three first pivot portions and a first connecting portion between two adjacent first pivot portions. The toothed element is arranged at the center of the main body and is formed with an annular toothed portion. Each claw element has a bent clamping portion and a second pivot portion. The second pivot portions are pivotally connected to the first pivot portions respectively. Each claw element has a toothed portion to be engaged with the annular toothed portion respectively. One of the claw elements has a second connecting portion between the clamping portion and the second pivot portion. The elastic element is connected to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion therebetween so that the claw elements tend to pivot toward the main body.
