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.

The present invention relates to a hand tool, comprising a tool member, of a first material, an elongated shaft, of a second material and a connecting member, of a third material comprising plastic. The elongated shaft further comprises a handle portion in a first end and an insert portion in a second end. The hand tool further comprises a sealing ring arranged to surround the insert portion to prevent leakage of the third material during manufacturing. A manufacturing method for such a hand tool is also presented, said method comprising arranging a sealing ring around an insert portion, arranging the insert portion and a tool member in a mold, injecting material comprising plastic in a cavity space so as to form a connecting member and removing the hand tool from the mold.

A tool for cutting through roots in the soil includes an elongate bar formed of solid steel with an enlarged knob on a top end and a weighted cutting head on a bottom end. The cutting head is formed of solid tempered steel and is in the configuration of an axe head with a sharpened arcuate cutting edge on the lowermost distal end. A longitudinal axis of the bar extends through a center of the cutting edge. In a preferred embodiment, the entire tool is made as one piece forged steel.

A deadblow tool, comprising a head with one or more striking surfaces; a handle joined to or molded as one with the head; a plurality of hollow chambers within the tool embodiment; a plurality of freely moveable material partially filling the hollow chambers; and an embodiment in the form of a hammer, mallet, axe, or annular maul. The tool has hollow chambers created as part of the tool embodiment or created separately as chamber cartridges to be inserted into the tool embodiment. The hollow chambers and chamber cartridges vary in size and shape and the freely moveable material varies in density and volume to accommodate mass distribution and the adjustments thereof provide facilitation to further tune the tool balance and strike performance. Construction methods of chamber cartridges and deadblow handles, hammers, mallets, axes, and mauls are also provided.

A method for manufacturing a handle includes manufacturing a surface portion for the handle, arranging the surface portion having a uniform thickness in a mould to contact a surface of the mould and to cover cavities which are provided in the surface in a predetermined pattern, pressing those parts of the surface portion that cover the cavities into the cavities with a mass that is introduced into the mould, and removing the handle from the mould once the mass has cured to form a rigid body which is at least partly covered by the surface portion from which protrusions arranged in the predetermined pattern protrude.

The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing a tool with a cutting edge comprising a substrate for supporting and a cladding layer for forming the cutting edge, and a transition zone connecting the substrate and the cladding layer; the method of manufacturing it includes: providing a first material used for forming the substrate and having a first side; providing a second material which is clad onto the first side by way of laser cladding to form the cladding layer, and forming a transition zone between the cladding layer and the substrate where the first material and the second material are metallurgically bonded. The tool obtained by adopting the manufacturing process according to the present invention combines the following advantages: good toughness of the cutter body, high hardness of the cutting edge, not easy breaking off of the cutter body and the cutting edge, and long service life.

A force-limiting and damping device has a body, a tapping element, an elastic element, and a reinforcing element. The body has a connecting segment with a mounting hole. The tapping element is movably connected to the body and has a mounting segment, a tapping segment, a fixing segment, and a protrusion segment. The protrusion segment is formed on a connecting portion between the mounting segment and the tapping segment. The reinforcing element is mounted on the tapping element between the elastic element and the tapping segment of the tapping element and abuts against the protrusion segment. The force-limiting and damping device can improve structural strength, can prolong service life, and can avoid deflection during a tapping process.
