A disc brake piston retraction tool includes a reversible ratchet wrench, a first pressure plate assembly, and a second pressure assembly. In the process of retracting a piston, a first engaging notch of a first L-shaped elastic plate of a first buckle member and a second engaging notch of a second L-shaped elastic plate of a second buckle member are pressed against a first force output shaft and a second force output shaft to provide an anti-rotation effect. Thus, when an operating handle of the reversible ratchet wrench is pulled back, it will not link a ratchet wheel, so as to carry out an effective operation of retracting the piston.

A mounting device is useable with a strip arrangement comprising a profile strip arrangeable or arranged at an edge area of a window pane of a motor vehicle and comprising a transport protection strip, wherein the transport protection strip is arranged at least with a portion of its cross section in a receiving area of the profile strip. The mounting device has a guide-in area configured to guide a free end of the strip arrangement into the mounting device, and a separation area configured to separate the transport protection strip from the profile strip.

A press tool for disconnecting a torque rod assembly from a structural support comprising an anchor plate, a brace plate, a drive rod supported by the brace plate, and a plurality of spacing members operatively connected to the anchor plate and the brace plate such that the press tool defines a tool opening. At least a portion of the torque rod end and the structural support are passed through the tool opening such that the anchor plate engages at least a portion of the structural member. The drive rod is axially rotated relative to the brace plate such that the drive rod engages at least a portion of the torque rod assembly and displaces the torque rod assembly relative to the structural support.

A retainer removal tool for a carpet retainer of a vehicle includes a shaft portion and a handle portion. The shaft portion has a cylindrical shape and includes an engagement tip has a hollow cylindrical shape and is configured to depress a tab of the retainer in a radially inward direction to decouple an upper retainer from a lower retainer. Further, a method for removing a carpet retainer of a vehicle includes centering a retainer removal tool over the retainer, depressing the retainer removal tool onto the retainer, disengaging a tab of the retainer with the retainer removal tool, and removing the retainer from the carpet.

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 clamping device including an elongate backbone, a first clamp end slidably engaged with the elongate backbone, a second clamp end slidably engaged with the elongate backbone, and a handle operatively engaged with the first clamp end, wherein upon actuation of the handle the first clamp end is urged toward the second clamp end decreasing the distance between the first clamp end and the second clamp end. The clamping device configured to operate with automotive suspension springs, spring slider, and shocks such that upon use of the clamping device spring pressure is unloaded from a vehicle, spring slider, and/or shock and is transferred to the clamping device such that suspension adjustments and/or spring replacement can be effectuated quickly and safely.

The disclosure provides a tire centering fixture including: a gear, a first rack, a second rack, a third rack, a shaft sleeve, and a guide cylinder. The first rack, the second rack, and the third rack are engaged with the gear. The gear is disposed around the shaft sleeve; the gear and the shaft sleeve are disposed on the guide cylinder. The guide cylinder includes a central cavity and a base wall. The base wall includes a central hole and a circular recess; a lower end of the shaft sleeve is in movable fit with the circular recess of the base wall, and a lower end face thereof is flush with the bottom surface of the circular recess. A locating base is disposed on the upper end face of the guide cylinder and is fixed on the guide cylinder. The locating base functions as an end cover.

The present invention relates to a tool for expediting the separation of different components of a wheel hub. The tool includes a base and a top that is rotatably connected to the base. The tool may also include a bearing that is connected to the base and to the top, where the bearing enables the rotation of the top relative to the base. A portion of a wheel hub may be located relative to the top, after which the wheel hub and top can be rotated. While this occurs, a heat source can be applied to a portion of the wheel hub to enable even heating. As a result of this heating and related expansion, a first wheel hub piece may be separated from a second wheel hub piece.

A leaking oil dipstick adapter is repaired by removing a flanged nut from a threaded extension of the dipstick adapter. A gasket and preferably also gasket seal forming material are applied surrounding the threaded extension of the dipstick adapter and adjacent to an exterior side of the wall of the oil pan. A washer is applied adjacent to this gasket. A nut is threaded onto the threaded extension of the dipstick adapter and applies a compression force on the washer, compressing the gasket against the exterior surface of the wall of the oil pan. A tool is preferably used to retain the dipstick adapter and keep it from falling into an interior of the oil pan during the repair.

The combined battery jumper cable with wrench is configured for use with a vehicle. The combined battery jumper cable with wrench forms an electric termination that attaches a cable to a terminal post of the vehicle battery. The combined battery jumper cable with wrench forms a ratchet that is used to attach an electrical terminal of the vehicle to the terminal post of the vehicle battery. The combined battery jumper cable with wrench includes a working head, a transfer mount, and a motive structure. The transfer mount attaches the motive structure to the working head. The working head is the working element of the tool. The motive structure transfer externally provided energy to the working head through the transfer mount. The motive structure removably attaches to the transfer mount.
