Devices and methods for trimming a stent to a desired length with an outer tube and an inner tube having a distal end and a diameter configured to receive a portion of the stent in excess of the desired length. The inner tube may move within the outer tube and the distal end may include an end effector configured to trim the portion from the stent while the device and stent are within a patient.

The present invention provides an opening-closing device including a first component, a second component and a third component. The second component is rotatably connected with the first component, and the third component is rotatably connected with the second component. The present invention further includes a mode switching device for switching operating modes of the opening-closing device. The operating modes include a conventional mode and a labor-saving mode. When the opening-closing device is in the conventional mode, the third component is fixed relative to the second component. When the opening-closing device is in the labor-saving mode, the third component is rotated in the opening direction relative to the second component during opening of the opening-closing device, and the third component is rotated in the closing direction relative to the second component during closing of the opening-closing device.

Shears having two limbs connected at a revolute joint, each limb comprising a handle region at one end and a cutting edge at the other end. One limb is fixed relative to the revolute joint during an opening and closing movement, and one limb is movable. The limbs move between an open position and a closed position while being limited by a stop and, in the closed position, the cutting edges pass each other over substantially their entire length. On the handle side of the revolute joint, one limb extends relative to the other limb such that it is supported in a planar manner on both sides in a region of overlap with the other limb, wherein the limbs comprise surface regions which, in the closed position, rest against one another in the region in which they are on top of each other and are each exposed on the opposite side.

A multi-function tool includes a first handle, a second handle, a first cutting insert, and a second cutting insert. The first handle is pivotally coupled to the second handle at a pivoting axis. The first handle and the second handle move between an open position and a closed position relative to each other. A first insert surface is formed on the first handle, and a second insert surface is formed on the second handle. The first cutting insert includes a front side, a rear side configured to interface with the first insert surface, a left side including a flat anvil surface, and a right side including a cutting edge. A second cutting insert includes a front side, a rear side configured to interface with the second insert surface, a left side including a flat anvil surface, and a right side including a cutting edge.

Pliers include two plier members connected through a pivot that allows the upper handle to move a lower jaw and a lower handle to move an upper jaw about the pivot. The upper jaw and lower jaw together define a head of the pliers. The pliers include one or more striking surfaces located at the head.

An in-line portable, hand held hydraulic cutting tool having a handle assembly and a working head assembly is provided. The handle assembly has a tool frame portion and a neck portion. The working head assembly has a pair of jaw members joined so that they are movable relative to each other and held in place by a locking pin. Each jaw member has a cutting blade secured to or directly formed into the jaw member. A stabilizer can be secured to or directly formed into one or both jaw members. The one or more stabilizers are aligned with a respective cutting blade such that during a cutting operation at least an edge of the stabilizer engages an object being cut to limit rotation of the object during the cutting operation.

A second cutting insert includes a front side, a rear side configured to interface with the second insert surface, a left side including a flat anvil surface, and a right side including a cutting edge.

A crimping hand tool configured to crimp a cable and a housing. The crimping hand tool includes a first body having at least one guiding structure, a second body is pivoted to the first body to rotate with respect to each other to be unfolded and folded, a linking member is pivoted to the second body, and the linking member has a slot, a crimping assembly is pivoted to the linking member and is slidably coupled to the guiding structure, and a shaft is movably inserted in the first body and the slot of the linking member. After the housing and cores are placed into the first body, the second and first body are folded with respect to each other to drive the crimping assembly to move along the guiding structure through the linking member to crimp the housing and the cable together.

A pipe shears includes a base, a ratchet plate pivotally connected to the base, a cutter blade detachably mounted to the ratchet plate, a positioning member mounted between an elongated hole of the ratchet plate and a positioning groove of the cutter blade, and a push rod inserted in the base and stopped against a stop member. When the push rod is not pushed, it is positioned in the elongated hole of the ratchet plate and stopped against the positioning member to force the positioning member into engagement with the positioning groove of the cutter blade, and the cutter blade is not detachable at this time. When the push rod is pushed, the stop member is moved out of the elongated hole of the ratchet plate to unlock the positioning member from the positioning groove of the cutter blade for allowing removal of the cutter blade.
