Universal aerator removal and installation tool
Disclosed are various embodiments for a universal aerator removal and installation tool, which may include a tool for rotationally engaging and turning an aerator coupled to a faucet spout. The tool may include a tool body having a first end and a second end and various keys positioned at the first end of the tool body. Each of the keys may include projections configured to rotationally engage and turn a different type of aerator. One or more aerator wrenches may be positioned at the second end of the tool body, where the aerator wrenches may project from the tool body and be configured to rotationally engage and turn different types of aerators.
Modular motorcycle tool kit
A modular motorcycle tool kit comprising multiple tool drivers and a plurality of attachable tool components said kit being configured to address most motorcycle repair or service needs. Three drivers include apertures and special step-key shank slots to engage and receive a plurality of tool insert bits and fastener tool heads. The fastener tool heads are coupled to unique step-key shanks which are stronger, more robust, and less expensive to manufacture than comparative fastener tool head shanks. The drivers can be used separately or in conjunction with one another depending on the need of the user. The modular motorcycle tool kit is specifically designed and configured to be an invaluable modular motorcycle tool and at the same time occupy very little space on the motorcycle.
POWERED RATCHETING TORQUE WRENCH
A power tool includes a housing defining a grip portion, a motor having a motor drive shaft, a drive assembly coupled to the motor drive shaft and driven by the motor, an output assembly coupled to the drive assembly and having an output member that receives torque from the drive assembly, causing the output member to rotate about an axis, and a transducer assembly disposed between the grip portion and the output assembly to measure the amount of torque applied through the output member, when the motor is deactivated, in response to the power tool being manually rotated about the axis.

Multi-function socket
A socket may include a socket body comprising a fastener engagement aperture configured to receive at least a portion of a fastener and a forward sleeve affixed external to the socket body at a forward end of the socket body. The forward sleeve may be configured to rotate radially relative to the socket body, and translate axially relative to the socket body. The socket may also include a biasing member configured to urge the forward sleeve to translate axially relative to the socket body in a direction towards the forward end of the socket body. Further, the socket body may include an internal cavity, and the socket may include a magnet disposed within the internal cavity. The magnet may be configured to translate axially within the internal cavity relative to the socket body and be configured to magnetically attract the fastener to the forward end of the socket body.
Powered ratcheting torque wrench
A power tool includes a housing defining a grip portion, a motor having a motor drive shaft, a drive assembly coupled to the motor drive shaft and driven by the motor, an output assembly coupled to the drive assembly and having an output member that receives torque from the drive assembly, causing the output member to rotate about an axis, and a transducer assembly disposed between the grip portion and the output assembly to measure the amount of torque applied through the output member, when the motor is deactivated, in response to the power tool being manually rotated about the axis.

Tool socket
A tool socket contains: a body and an elastic operation assembly accommodated in the body. The body includes an accommodation groove and a fitting orifice. The elastic operation assembly includes a locking seat having multiple apertures. The accommodation groove has a hexagonal wall, six toothed spaces, any two inverted isosceles-trapezoid projections on each of six sides of a hexagonally wall thereof, and an isosceles trapezoid space for separating said any two inverted isosceles-trapezoid projections. The locking seat is formed in a toothed hexagon shape and has six toothed bulges corresponding to the six toothed spaces of the body individually, any two inverted isosceles-trapezoid recesses on each of six sides thereof, and an isosceles trapezoid projection configured to separate said any two inverted isosceles-trapezoid recesses. Said any two inverted isosceles-trapezoid recesses correspond to said any inverted isosceles-trapezoid projections separately, and the isosceles trapezoid projection corresponds to the isosceles trapezoid space.
Pipe wrench
A pipe wrench includes a first body and a second body. The first body includes a handle portion and a first clamping portion. The second body is movably coupled to the first body and has a body portion. The body portion defines a thorough hole with which the first body is insertably engaged. The body portion includes a second clamping portion. The first and second clamping portions face oppositely and cooperate with one another. The body portion is reinforced with at least one reinforcement ridge. The at least one reinforcement ridge extends from an outer periphery of the body portion. The second body is movable to various fixed positions on the first body.
Self-locking fastener system and process
A threaded fastener, inserted into a hole in materials to be joined, receives a free-running collar (nut) with out-of-round duplex barrels. Spring-loaded twin sockets cradle the barrels and a restraining polygon key extends through the sockets and into a recess in the small face on the pin tail. Installation advances in tandem sequence; tightening before swaging. A machined groove with flat bottom and side rising at about 20 degrees from axial forms a boundary and partly reshapes crests from parallel to angular. Such inclination keeps the collar connected to the cavity of the larger of twin sockets throughout tangential tightening, rise of torque, displacement of crest material, recoil of the smaller socket on the end barrel, cessation of collar rotation and plunging torque. When recoil ends, radial torque on the smaller socket crushes and locks barrel material into underlying left hand helical troughs that interrupt the last few pin threads.
