Hex shank nut driver with onboard slidable sockets
A hex shank nut driver with onboard slidable sockets is disclosed. The aforementioned invention being comprised of a hex-shaped shank made of a rigid metal such as stainless steel, titanium and the like and having one end configured to be received by a conventional nut driver handle and another end configured to be received by sockets thereon. Said invention providing a means for storing said often-used sockets on the shank. The shank having raised portions preventing stored sockets from contacting each other as well as a retainer ring to selectively hold a socket for driving. The sockets being different sizes allowing them to be engaged with one another and also being color coded to allow for quick selection in the field. An object of the invention is to provide a means for easy access and storage to commonly-used nut drivers for mechanics in the field.
Impact socket
An impact socket includes a socket body having a first end and an opposing second end, the socket body defining a first fastener driving structure at the second end. The impact socket includes a collar assembly carried by the socket body, the collar assembly defining a second fastener driving structure. The collar assembly includes a support sleeve and a base sleeve that define a chamber configured to constrain movement of a securing mechanism relative to the socket body, the securing mechanism configured to selectively secure the collar assembly to the socket body when the collar assembly is disposed in at least one of a first position relative to the second end of socket body and a second position relative to the second end of socket body.
DRIVER
An accessory driver tool connectable to a power tool includes a main body and a sleeve. The main body includes a first end, a second end, a tool coupling mechanism at the first end, and a first fastener driving member disposed at the second end. The sleeve, disposed concentrically about the main body, includes a second fastener driving member disposed adjacent the second end of the main body. The sleeve is axially displaceable along the main body between a retracted position, in which the first fastener driving member is exposed to engage a first fastener, and an extended position, in which the second fastener driving member is exposed to engage a second fastener. The sleeve is rotatable relative to the main body while in the extended position.
Spanner Wrench
A spanner wrench assembly including a base plate having a gripping portion extending from a handle portion and defining an arcuate cavity with a open end. At least one support plate is secured to the gripping portion and substantially matches a configuration of the arcuate cavity. The support plate is of a lesser density material than the base plate. An engagement plate substantially matches the configuration of the arcuate cavity and is secured with respect to the at least one support plate. A cover defines one elongate aperture extending to an open mouth portion formed by an adjacent end of the cover, and another elongate aperture extending to a closed mouth portion dimensioned to accept a connector head which is wider than the elongate apertures.
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.
Stud Installation And Removal Tool And Method of Use
An inventive stud removal and installation tool and method of use is disclosed. The inventive tool incorporates a body configured to hold a cage, cam sleeve and jaws. The cam sleeve is capable of being oriented to accomplish either stud removal or installation. The assembly of the tool is modular such that broken elements can be replaced without the need to replace the entirety of the tool.

SELF-ADJUSTING NESTED TOOL HEAD
A tool head. The tool head includes an inner core and a plurality of nested shells fitted over the inner core. Each shell is engaged with the inner core at a proximal end. Each shell is independently biased towards the distal end of the inner core and independently compressible away from the distal end. Each shell is independently slidable relative to the inner core and relative to each other. A handle may be used to provide additional leverage and to fold over the tool head when the tool head is not in use.
NESTED SOCKET ASSEMBLY
A nested socket assembly is disclosed. The nested socket assembly includes an inner socket having a base portion with a double hex pattern which protrudes beyond the adjacent shaft surface of the inner socket. The base portion is adapted to engage an internal double hex pattern of the outer socket. A compression spring presses the inner socket outward of the outer socket. The inner socket is locked within the outer socket via a retaining clip, such as a circlip. The inner socket is free to move inward with respect to the outer socket so that the inner socket may engage a smaller size hex head or nut, but may also be pushed inward so that the outer socket can engage larger hex head or nut. The assembly is configured to attach to an impact driver.
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.
