Generally, this disclosure enables various drivers, reversible sockets, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. For example, some of these drivers can avoid laterally rolling off an inclined surface (e.g., between about 15 degrees and about 25 degrees). For example, some of these drivers can avoid using excessive material. For example, some of these drivers can allow for stacking of drivers and thereby be efficient to package for shipping. For example, some of these sockets can provide a tactile feedback for a user to know which ends of those sockets are currently being handled.

A tool accessory includes a first portion defining a drive end and a second portion defining a working end. At least one flat or planar side surface is defined on the first portion, and a tipping point is disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The tool accessory has a center of mass that is defined closer to the drive end than to the working end such that, when the tool accessory is rested on a surface, the center of mass causes the tool accessory to rest on the planar side surface and the tipping point to prevent rolling.

A wrench case for a set of combination wrenches, where each wrench includes an open end, a closed end, and an elongate handle extending therebetween. The wrench case includes a handle, a post receiving the open end of each wrench, and a body including a front side and a back side. The front side supports the elongate handle of each wrench. The wrench case further includes a plurality of tabs spaced apart along the front side of the body. Between adjacent tabs is a gap that receives each wrench. The wrench case further includes a door pivotally coupled to the body between a closed position, in which the door is coupled adjacent the front side of the body to maintain each wrench against the body, and an open position, in which the door is coupled adjacent the back side of the body.

A torque tool includes multiple bits, a handle, a pointer and a scale ring. Each of the bits includes a colored area. In use, the handle is connected to a selected one of the bits. The handle is operable to set multiple maximum values of torque transferable to the bit from the handle corresponding to the colored areas of the bits. The pointer is formed on the handle. The scale ring includes multiple colored areas corresponding to the colored areas of the bits. The scale ring is rotated around the handle as the handle is operated to set the maximum values of torque, thereby aligning the pointer with one of the colored areas of the scale ring corresponding to the colored area of a selected one of the bits.

A tool combination includes a body having a left portion, a right portion, a top portion and a bottom portion. The left portion and the right portion are symmetric to each other relative to a vertical plane. The top portion and the bottom portion are symmetric to each other relative to a horizontal plane. The left, right, top and bottom portions respectively includes an identical left, right, top and bottom recess, and an identical left, right, top and bottom spaces. Each of the left, right, top and bottom recesses includes a tool set received therein.

Various wrenches, wrench systems, and methods of the present invention include inner and outer mouths that provide increased strength and utility. The inner mouth may be configured with an open or a closed end to receive removable open or closed end gears and perform ratcheting action when the gear seated in the inner mouth and engaged and a rotational force is applied to the gear via the wrench. The outer mouth may prevent the gear from disengaging from the inner mouth when the inner mouth is installed in the outer mouth and provide structural strength to the inner mouth when force is applied to the gear via the wrench. Various embodiments include a handle and a head, where the head includes a fixed jaw and a movable jaw, or belt, forming a mouth configured to receive removable open or closed end gears and perform ratcheting action when a fitting is engaged by the gear positioned in the mouth and rotational force is applied to the fitting via the gear and the wrench. The present invention may include two or more stackable sockets to vary the effective length of the socket.

A wrench width adapter for a component that is screwable into a threaded opening is provided, including a base body having a continuous inner recess, extending along a longitudinal axis, for receiving the screw-in component. An inner wall of the base body that delimits the inner recess, in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, has, at least in part, the shape of a regular polygon corresponding to a first wrench width dimension, and an outer wall of the base body has, at least in part, the shape of a regular polygon corresponding to a second wrench width dimension that is greater than the first wrench width dimension.
