A net repair patch latching unit comprising one or more carabiners. The carabiner of the net repair patch latching unit comprises at least one load-bearing section; a spine and a forepart; one or more first grooves configured to accommodate a yarn of the net to be repaired; at least one elongated bendable part having a distal end and a proximal end. The elongated bendable part comprises at least one transitional bending area connecting the spine and the proximal end of the at least one bendable part; one or more guiding nudges protruding from the load-bearing section; one or more attaching element protruding from the load-bearing section.

A bending tool for shortening the length of a wastegate actuator arm (or linkage) of a turbocharger system of an automobile by applying or otherwise creating a bend or dent in a wastegate actuator arm to repair a leaky wastegate, and a method of repairing a leaky wastegate valve of a turbocharger system of an automobile without disassembling or removing components of the turbocharger system.

A demolition ram, for demolishing glazing, comprises a pusher and a handle connected at its distal end to the pusher. The pusher comprises a support plate, a rubber plating on the distal surface of the support plate, and a reinforcing flange and a boss on the proximal surface of the support plate. At least one handling aperture is through the pusher. The handle has a plate at its distal end. Fasteners removably connect the plate to the boss. A handle extension can be connected to the handle. The handle at its proximal end and the handle extension each comprises a generally textured surface. The demolishing comprises pushing a subpane out of the glazing with the demolition ram by exerting a force with the handle onto the subpane through the pusher. The subpane is then allowed to fall due to its weight, and is caught with a receptacle comprising a mat.

Demolishing glazing at a distance uses a demolition ram comprising a pusher, a handle having proximal and distal ends, and fasteners connecting the handle at the distal end to the pusher. The demolishing comprises touching a subpane of the glazing with the pusher, pushing the subpane out of the glazing, and moving the subpane so that it can fall due to its weight, and then catching the falling subpane with a receptacle comprising a mat. The pushing comprises exerting a force about the proximal end, and generating an impulsive force onto the subpane by the exerting through the touching. The impulsive force is generally coaxial with the force of the exerting. The handle has a slenderness ratio of at least twenty-five and not more than one hundred ten that distances the exerting from the generating.
