In some embodiments, a pry bar is shaped to be conveniently worn along the belt by an operator such as a law enforcement officer. The pry bar includes a curved lever arm having a curvature that matches an operator's waist, and a prying ridge extending inward from a longitudinal end of the curved lever arm. The inward orientation of the prying ridge reduces the lever action of the pry bar, but allows the operator to conveniently carry the pry bar on the waist without snagging on external objects.

Disclosed embodiments include a two-shafted multi-tool including a primary shaft having a D-handle at one end and a releasable tool connector at the opposite end, and a secondary shaft having a D-handle at one end and a rotating connector at the opposite end, and wherein the rotating connector couples the secondary shaft to the primary shaft substantially adjacent to the releasable tool connector. Further disclosed embodiments include at least one adjustable shaft handle that is releasably couplable to either the primary shaft or the secondary shaft.

A raised floor panel removal tool includes a J-shaped body having a first vertical bar, a second vertical bar and a horizontal bar that is connected to the vertical bars along the respective bottom ends. A handle is positioned along the top of the first vertical bar and is positioned perpendicular to the horizontal bar. The tool components are constructed from steel tubing and an electrically insulative material is provided along the handle. A pair of wheels are attached to the bottom end of the first vertical bar by a bracket, and the second vertical bar can be constructed to include an adjustable height.

A foldable tool includes a first rod member, a second rod member and a pivoting device. The first rod member has a first length. The second rod member has a second length. The pivoting device is arranged between the first rod member and the second rod member. The first rod member and the second rod member are configured to be selectively pivotable to each other via the first pivoting device. A ratio of the first length to the second length is in a range between 1.1 and 6.

A tool, such as a pry bar including a textured tip is shown. In one embodiment, the textured tip includes a plurality of projections and a plurality of grooves. Various textured tip embodiments are configured to increase friction/gripping with a workpiece, thereby increasing a pry force applied to the workpiece before the pry bar slips and/or loses contact with the workpiece.

Disclosed is a panel removing tool having a bend portion that is located behind a fulcrum of the tool. During use, the tool pivots about the bend portion applies leverage to remove a panel. The bend portion includes a cover (for example a dipped polymer) that is made of a material softer than a material of the remainder of the tool (for example, stainless steel). The tool therefore prevents scratching or other damage to panels in which the tool is used and allows greater leverage during use due to the recessed bend portion.
