A fastening tool includes a gear train and a socket. The gear train rotates as the fastening tool moves between a non-operated position and an operated position. The socket receives a fastener at a first end of the fastener. The socket is rotatably supported to the gear assembly so that the socket rotates as the gear assembly rotates.

Elongated fastener driving apparatuses are disclosed. The drivers are operable to quickly and accurately install fasteners from a standing position on, for example, a floor surface.

A method for levelling an anchoring system for a dropped ceiling, a floating floor, a pipe or a cable tray, having at least one support bracket for the pipe or a section bar of a support frame of a dropped ceiling, a floating floor or a cable tray, and an adjustment screw to adjust the distance of the section bar from a reference surface, wherein a laser receiver is placed in contact with the section bar or the support bracket, has an optical window to receive a laser beam emitted by a laser level, assumes two height states indicating the receiving position of the laser beam relative to a reference position, and transmits, in a wireless manner, two control signals corresponding to the two height states, and wherein an electric screwdriver receives, in a wireless manner, the control signals and switches the rotation of the adjustment screw between one direction and the opposite direction based on the control signal received.

A plug removal tool may include a mount for attaching the plug removal tool to a structure and a plug nut. Additionally, the plug removal tool may include at least one rigid arm extending between the mount and the plug nut. Further, the at least one arm may have at least one translational degree of movement and at least one rotational degree of movement.

A tensioning apparatus is adapted to simultaneously tension a number of jackbolts of a multi jackbolt tensioner. The tensioning apparatus may be made compact by overlapping gear disks of the spindle gears and further act as a torque multiplier between the other gears of the tensioning apparatus. The tensioning apparatus can be part of a combination with a power transfer assembly.

Methods and apparatus to remove frangible fastener remnants are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus to install a frangible fastener includes a drive tool having a drive socket operable to rotate a separable nut portion of the frangible fastener, and a fastener interface defining an interior for receiving at least the nut portion, the fastener interface being disposed on a drive end of the drive tool, where the drive socket is movable within the fastener interface and operable to rotate the frangible fastener, and where the separable nut portion of the frangible fastener is removed when the frangible fastener is installed. The apparatus also includes a nut-portion removal tube depending from the interior of the fastener interface, and a vacuum generator in fluid communication with the removal tube and configured to cause the separable nut portion to be removed from the interior and through the removal tube.

An integrated disposable rotational speed reduction assembly having a shaft assembly, a housing, an output assembly, and a plurality of planetary gears each having a plurality of gear teeth. The shaft assembly is configured to cause rotation of the planetary gears with a sun gear. The rotation of the planetary gears is configured to cause rotation of an output shaft, with a reduction of rotational speed relative to the rotation of the shaft assembly.

A cabinet leg is provided including a body securable to an underside of a cabinet and a shaft engageable with the body such that rotation of the shaft moves the shaft toward or away from the body. A foot is secured to a lower end of the shaft including a first portion attached to the shaft and a second portion rotatable relative to the first portion. A plurality of openings are provided around the periphery of the foot for receiving a first end of a tool such that teeth on the tool engage with teeth on the first portion. Rotation of the tool causes rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion, thereby rotating the shaft and adjusting the height of the cabinet leg.

A powered socket wrench assembly includes a power tool that has a back end and a front end. The power tool is elongated along a longitudinal axis extending between the back end and the front end thereby facilitating the power tool to be inserted into a hard to reach area. Additionally, the power tool includes a chuck that is rotated in a first direction or a second direction when the power tool is turned on. A drive unit is insertable into the chuck on the power tool thereby facilitating the power tool to rotate the drive unit when the power tool is turned on. The drive unit includes a socket that is rotatable about an axis oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the power tool when the power tool is turned on.
