An apparatus for assisted buckle release employing a generally C-shaped, V-shaped, or U-shaped assistive device adapted to depress a buckle's release button, such as a button typical of a child car seat restraint harness, and thereby assist in unlocking the buckle.

A pair of tongs including pins for engaging an object such as a hookah coal about an axis and allowing the object to rotate relative to the axis. A method of rotating a coal used on hookah including engaging the coal about and axis and lifting the coal, allowing the coal to rotate about the axis.

A grasping tool (10) has a pair of elongate arms (20) attached via a hinge element (26). The elongate arms (20) provide gripping surfaces (28) for grasping an item therebetween. A finger engagement element (30) extends from each of the elongate arms, (20) spaced a distance from the proximal end (22). Each elongate arm (20) is generally disposed on a first axis, and each finger engagement element (30) is disposed around a second axis, such that the second axis is approximately parallel to and located below the first axis, such that the first and second axes are spaced a distance such that the pair of elongate arms (20) are positioned above the fingers of the user when the user's fingers are positioned through the finger engagement elements (30).

A slip coupling tool having an interior surface sized for receiving a pipe. The coupling tool includes a semi-annular collar sized to engage an exterior surface of the pipe. The collar extends to a rearward end face sized and shaped for aligning with an end of the slip coupling when the collar receives the pipe and the inner surface of the collar engages an exterior surface of the pipe. The slip coupling tool includes a striking plate extending outward from the collar. The striking plate has an impact surface spaced from the collar for impacting the coupling tool to drive the slip coupling into position along the pipe. The slip coupling tool includes a handle extending outward from the collar for manipulating the tool into position while impacting the impact surface of the striking plate to drive the slip coupling into position along the pipe.

A wrench for opening and closing a clamp having a lever includes a handle section, a leverage section, and a locking assembly. The leverage section is coupled to the handle section. The leverage section includes an engagement surface to engage the clamp and an opening formed therein, the opening being configured to receive the lever of the clamp therein. The locking assembly is coupled to the leverage section. The locking assembly is configured to releasably secure the leverage section to the lever of the clamp when the lever is received within the opening of the leverage section.

A blade mounting and removal tool, and system, for safely removing a blade from a food product slicer.

A grasping tool has a pair of elongate arms attached via a hinge element. The elongate arms provide gripping surfaces for grasping an item therebetween. A finger engagement element extends from each of the elongate arms, spaced a distance from the proximal end. Each elongate arm is generally disposed on a first axis, and each finger engagement element is disposed around a second axis, such that the second axis is approximately parallel to and located below the first axis, such that the first and second axes are spaced a distance such that the pair of elongate arms are positioned above the fingers of the user when the user's fingers are positioned through the finger engagement elements.
