A gastrointestinal balloon system includes a gastrointestinal balloon and a check valve located within the gastrointestinal balloon. The check valve is configured to allow fluid flow into and out of the gastrointestinal balloon. The check valve includes a string coupled to the check valve, the string having a loop on a proximal end and a catheter having a lumen. The lumen is configured to receive a grasping tool. The grasping tool extends out a distal end of the catheter for grabbing the loop to align the catheter with the check valve. Also, a check valve, two-wat valve, and method of using the same in a gastrointestinal balloon.

The present invention provides a means to achieve enhanced control of repair forces in the automotive body repair industry. In particular, the present invention provides a modified slide hammer and a method to achieve repair through the controlled application of forces otherwise not attainable with existing embodiments. Additionally, the present invention provides an ease of use and versatility of application and mounting at the site of the work in conjunction with and in line with existing devices used in the repair process. The application of the present invention provides increased reliability in the delivery of intended forces at the site of the work. Further, the inherent isolation of repair forces to the intended site of the work by the use of the present invention reduces the likelihood of secondary damage, material waste, or catastrophic failure thereby also enhancing the safety of the operator and the effectivity of repair. Specifically, the present invention may be implemented in conjunction with existing frame pullers in the automotive body repair industry to affect repair while providing facility to avoid obstructions in the path of applied forces.

A manual impact driver for aiding the removal of a threaded fastening member from a structure, is disclosed having a longitudinal axis (L), the manual impact driver including a body having a first end and a second end and a sliding member configured to be coupled to the body at the second end. The impact driver is movable between a first configuration, upon impact at the first end of the body, a linear impact force is translated along the longitudinal axis (L) from the first end of the body to the sliding member and a second configuration, upon impact at the first end, the linear impact force produces a torque, about the longitudinal axis (L), at the sliding member. The impact driver is operable to switch between the configurations upon rotation, by a user, of the body with respect to the sliding member.

The self-contained force magnifying tool disclosed herein includes a tool portion, a striker, at least a portion of which is disposed within the tool portion, and a spring, a least a portion of which is disposed within the tool portion. The spring attaches to both the tool portion and the striker. When the striker is pulled by a user, the spring stores mechanical energy. When the user releases the striker, the striker impacts on the tool portion transferring the mechanical energy stored in the spring into a driving force. The force is magnified by a tool disposed on the tool portion of the self-contained force magnifying hand tool and applied to a workpiece.
