A device which includes a guide member which includes a first end portion and an opposing second end portion. The first end portion defines a first plane and an opening is defined by the guide member, wherein the opening extends along the guide member in a direction perpendicular to the first plane. The device further includes a first bubble vial attached to the guide member wherein the first bubble vial extends within a second plane. The device further includes a second bubble vial attached to the guide member, wherein the second bubble vial extends within a third plane, the second and third planes are in angular relationship relative to one another and the first and second bubble vials are each rotationally adjustable relative to the guide member.

A self-aligning tool guide has a holder for securing a portable power tool for working on a ceiling, a lifting mechanism, and a self-balancing chassis. The holder is mounted on the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism has a propulsion system for raising the holder parallel to a lifting axis. The self-balancing chassis has two wheels on a wheel axis and a drive coupled to the two wheels. A sensor serves for detecting a contact pressure of the holder, the contact pressure acting in the direction of gravitational force. The control station activates the propulsion system depending on the detected contact pressure.

A torque transfer device is provided to transfer torque from a torque tool to a torque limiter device, the torque transfer device comprising a torque limiter connection member adapted for connection to the torque limiter device; a first joint; a second joint; and a tool connection member adapted for connection to the torque tool, wherein the first joint and the second joint are configured to lock responsive to activation of the torque tool to transfer a reaction torque generated by the torque tool to the torque limiter device, and wherein the first joint and the second joint are configured to unlock responsive to deactivation of the torque tool to enable rotation between the torque tool and the torque limiter device along a first axis and a second axis different from the first axis.

Provided is a utility support. The utility support may include a bottom base with a tapering side wall extending therefrom towards a top base. Additionally, the utility support may be hollow. Further, at least one of the side wall, the bottom base and the top base may be configured with at least one utility portion.

A spacer (1) for spacing a tool such as a drill motor from a tool stand such as a drill stand, the spacer (1) comprising a spacer body (2) and a locking member (3), the spacer body (2) having first (4) and second (5) opposing faces, the locking member (3) extending from a first end (6) thereof adjacent to the first face (4) to a second end (7) thereof adjacent to the second face (5), the locking member (3) being able to slide relative to the spacer body(2) along a direction from the first end (6) to the second end (7), the first end (6) and the second end (7) each being provided with at least one locking surface(10, 11), wherein the spacer (1) is arranged such that at application of a locking force each locking surface (10, 11) of one of the first and second ends (6, 7) transmits the locking force to each locking surface (10,11) of the other of the first and second ends (6, 7).

A bicycle repair stand includes an upright column. A first repair station includes a repair rack extending from the upright column in a first direction. The repair rack retains a bicycle at an elevated position relative to a column base. A tool storage face is provided along an exterior of the upright column. At least one retractable tool is coupled along the tool storage face. The at least one retractable tool includes a tool, a cable coupled with the tool, and a retraction mechanism coupled with the cable and configured to pull the tool toward the tool storage face when released by an operator.

A bicycle transport bag (1) comprising a bicycle supporting frame structure (10) and a covering (6), wherein the supporting frame structure (10) comprises frame elements which are arranged to be assembled in a first bicycle supporting configuration inside the covering (6). The frame elements are removable from the covering (6) and are arranged to be reassembled into a second different bicycle supporting configuration outside of the covering (6). In the second bicycle supporting configuration, the bicycle supporting frame structure (10) may take the form of a bicycle work stand.

A level that is attached to the drill bit. It is on a bar that allows the level to be offset from the drill bit so that it is visible by the operator. The bar has a bearing in it that allows the bit to spin freely while holding the level in a set position. The level has a ball that centers in a ring when it is level and plumb. To use the device, after it is installed in a drill, the operator adjusts the position of the drill until the ball is in the center of the ring. Then, the drill bit is plumb and the hold will be true. The operator merely has to watch the level and adjust the drill as needed to maintain plumb to ensure a true hole.
