An example hammer disclosed herein includes a handle. The hammer also includes a head comprising a neck. The neck has a tapered receiving surface and an end face. The hammer further includes a cap comprising a tapered mounting surface. The mounting surface is surrounding and engaging the receiving surface to permanently affix the cap to the neck. A first circumference of engagement at a first end of a length of engagement between the mounting surface and the receiving surface is greater than a second circumference of engagement at a second end of the length of engagement. The first end is farther from the end face of the neck than the second end.

An apparatus and method to a folding and a partially rotational device, comprising: stabilizing the frame holder of the device for the axis on which a partially rotational part rotates; spindle locking the partial rotation at two-ends using a spindle with screws at each-end of the spindle; defining the two-ends for the rotation with two or more stop pins; allowing the rotation with two or more compression springs; installing and cleaning the compression springs using a wiper; wherein tension of the rotation is adjusted by placement of one or more of the wiper or compression spring length.

Provided is a system and method for a hand tool with a plurality of quick release work heads. The hand tool includes a handle having a socket having a first longitudinal axis and an inner cavity extending rearward from an open distal end, the inner cavity having a first non-circular cross section transverse to the first longitudinal axis, the socket further having a quick release transverse to the first longitudinal axis, the quick release releasably disposing a locker transversely across a portion of the inner cavity. The hand tool also includes at least one work head having a second longitudinal axis and a shaft having a second non-circular cross section concentrically conforming to the first non-circular cross section of the inner cavity, the shaft further having a locking groove transverse to the second longitudinal axis and disposed to engage with the quick release locker when the shaft is disposed within the socket of the handle. An associated method of use is also provided.

A multi-use ax may comprise a head and a handle, each comprising multiple functionalities. In various embodiments, the head and the handle may comprise functionalities such as an anchor and attachment point, or belay loop, to allow a user to bail out of a hazardous environment. In various embodiments the head and/or the handle may comprise functionalities to provide a means by which a user may shut off gas and/or water at various sources.

A digging tool system provides a combination pickaxe and shovel superior to other digging tools in that it effectively allows a user to both break apart dense or impacted material and to move the material with a single tool. The digging device includes a digging head with a generally triangular blade which is capable of penetrating and moving substrate. The blade has a vertically and horizontally curved face, with a greater depth of curve on one side of the horizontal curvature, and a substrate-piercing tip formed by the apex of the blade which is positioned off-center relative to a handle. The greater depth on one side and the off-center placement of the substrate-piercing tip allow for material to be moved to one side as the digging device is pulled through the material.

A hammer is provided that includes a handle, a head, a striking insert, and a claw. The hammer provides for a head with a keyed hole to couple to a keyed projection on a striking insert. The head also includes a dovetail projection that couples to the dovetail connection of the claw. Each component may comprise a different material. For example, the striking insert and the claw comprise one material, and the handle and the head comprise another material. In some embodiments, a slotted punch with a magnetic retainer creates a bore through the face of the head and the striking insert to support a fastener (e.g., a nail) within the head.
