An ice auger handle attachment assembly that includes a first bushing with a recess on the end side for a first pin of a handle, a second bushing with two symmetrical flat side surfaces made on the part of the length of the second bushing and having arcuate recesses that form stops. The second bushing partially covers the first bushing and is attached thereto by means of a stud fixed on the end of the handle. Further, a blocking element and the second pin pass through a slot in the second bushing and a hole in the stud. A spring is mounted on the stud between the first and second bushings, and a fork-shaped lever covering the second bushing in the area of the flat side surfaces and hinged thereon by means of the second pin.

A tool including a buffer structure adapted to prevent shocks includes a tool head, a first shaft structure, and a second shaft structure. The tool head has a first connecting portion. The second shaft structure is attached to the slide and links with the tool head. The second shaft structure is movable with respect to the first shaft structure such that the tool head is moved toward and away from the first shaft structure. The second shaft structure has a second connecting portion receiving the pivot. The tool head is pivotal with respect to the second shaft structure. Further, a resilient member is disposed between the first and the second shaft structures. The second shaft structure is biased by the resilient member.

The pivoting and extending interchangeable hand tool device disclosed herein may comprise a tool head and a torque arm that pivot relative to one another, a secondary torque arm for extending length and increasing appliable torque, and a “T”-handle for additional support. The pivoting and extending interchangeable hand tool device may further comprise a plurality of tool heads that may be interchanged within the secondary torque arm, and may be provided commercially in a multiple-tool set. The device is designed to overcome the shortcomings in the prior art, which specifically include the ability to work in tight spaces while reducing the loss of torque when pivoting a torque arm, the loss of strength inherent in an extendable torque arm, and the bulkiness of a “T”-handle.

A spin mop and bucket system to assist in dewatering a mop is disclosed. The spin mop may have a handle assembly slidably connected with a spiral member, and a mop head that is attached to the spiral member. When the handle assembly moves along the spiral member, the spiral member rotates causing the mop head to rotate. The mop head may articulate relative to the handle assembly and may be pivotally connected to the spiral member and also pivotally connected to a swivel member located between the spiral member and a mop head base. The mop head may be received in a wringer basket of a bucket assembly, such that when the mop head spins, the wringer basket spins to expel any excess fluid from the mop head.

A method of cleaning a controlled and regulated equipment, the method comprising the steps of: (1) forming a tool handle by removably connecting a first handle portion to a second handle portion; (2) pivotably connecting a tool head frame to the second handle portion; wherein the tool head frame comprises a leading edge opposite a trailing edge and a first side edge opposite a parallel second side edge disposed between the leading and the trailing edge respectively, wherein the leading edge and the trailing edge are non-parallel to each other; (3) positioning the tool head frame in proximity to a tray having at least one compartment, a pad assembly and a cleaning solution, wherein the pad assembly and the cleaning solution are disposed in the at least one compartment; (4) configuring the pad assembly to be movable within the at least one compartment between a first position and a second position; and (5) attaching the tool head hands-free to the pad assembly in the first position or second position and detaching the tool head hands-free from the pad assembly in the second position. The method further comprises the steps of providing a precise amount of cleaning solution within the at least compartment in order to provide accurate saturation and consistent moisture level for each pad within each pad assembly.

The present invention generally relates to swivel knives. Specifically, the present invention relates to blade assemblies comprising blades and blade retaining members, for example, blade cartridges for swivel knives.
