Folding pliers with full wrench set
A folding multitool comprising a pliers head assembly with at least two pivotal tool arms that are foldable to a stowed position and an extended operational position. The pivotal tool arms define at least one wrench head on their outer end with at least two gripping surfaces for turning at least two different sized rotary fasteners. Wherein each pivotal tool arm can be used either as a tool handle or as a tool arm depending on the position of the pivotal tool arms and which end of the extended multitool the user grasps.
Fuel procurement tool and method(s) of use
A handheld tool configured to procure fuel is described. Embodiments of the fuel procurement tool include a handhold having a cutting mechanism located proximate one end of the handhold. Typically, the cutting mechanism can include at least one cutter link having a depth gauge, a top plate, and a gullet formed between the depth gauge and the top plate. The fuel procurement tool can be implemented to procure kindling from a piece of wood.
Tool accessory having a partially removable attachment portion
A tool accessory having an attachment portion having a first aperture for attaching to a tool and a removable portion, wherein in a first configuration the removable portion is engaged with the attachment portion, and in a second configuration the removable portion is disengaged from the attachment portion.
On-board hand tool accessory
A hand tool for servicing a power tool or other host tool is adapted to be readily mountable to and dismountable from the host tool via magnetic coupling. The hand tool includes a handle body, and a nut driver supported on the handle body. The handle body may define a bifurcated support, and the tool may include a pivot pin extending through the bifurcated support and the nut driver to support the nut driver on the tool. The nut driver defines at least one socket region dimensioned to receive a nut, and further is magnetized for magnetic coupling with a nut positioned within the socket region. In one embodiment, the nut driver houses a discrete magnet for this purpose. A second magnet may be supported on the handle body toward its central portion.

Screwdriver Handle
A screwdriver, comprising a handle having an integral planar pivotal moving and fixed frame incorporating as required a robust wire cutting or stripping mechanism etc. The rigidity of the frames enhanced by their robust attachment within corresponding main and moving plastic over mouldings constituting the handle bodies, the main frame attached to the screwdriver shank. When closed, the handle profiles form the suitably ergonomic profile of a screwdriver handle. A storage chamber for example for interchangeable screwdriver bits can be formed within the handle interior. The wire stripping feature incorporates a method of setting the required length of insulation to be removed from the worked wire comprising of a setting wheel capable of rotational movement around an axle, retained within the main body handle parallel to the wire stripping profile. The setting wheel face incorporating differing depth faces from the wire stripping profiles.
Floor covering fasteners and adhesives removal tool
The present invention is a floor covering fasteners and adhesives removal tool that allows for the quick removal of a staple, tack nail, and/or adhesives from a material without causing damage. The staple remover portion of the multi-purpose tool works with its forked blade for slipping underneath staples, and using the prying plate oval shape to free the staple. The tack strip nail puller portion of the multi-purpose tool having the nail slot is typically moved laterally relative to the nail. More specifically, the nail slot engages the nail where the force moving prying plate by the handle will sufficient to free the nail from the surface. The glue scraper portion of the multi-purpose tool has a bevel edge to allow the glue scraper to assume more nearly a right angular position to the floor surface sufficient to free the glue residue from the surface.
