A method of manipulating a wire, having an electrical contact, comprises clamping the wire with a predetermined force between a first gripping portion, installed in a first channel of a first tip half, and a second gripping portion, installed in a second channel of a second tip half. The method also includes pushing the electrical contact into a receptacle of a terminal block using a first internal shoulder of the first channel and a second internal shoulder of the second channel to interlock the electrical contact and the terminal block. With the wire clamped between the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion, the method includes verifying that the electrical contact and the terminal block are interlocked by pulling the first tip half and the second tip half away from the terminal block until the wire slips along the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion.

A tool for impacting a frozen brake component includes an outer guide tube, an impact bar which slides within the outer guide tube and has an impact tip, which is retracted in the outer guide tube when the impact bar is retracted, and which extends beyond the guide tube when the impact bar is extended. The impact bar and the outer guide tube are curved identically and sufficiently to allow the far end of the impact bar to impact a brake component when the tool is inserted in a wheel opening.

The present invention relates to an ergonomic plier tool. More specifically, the invention relates to a piston actuated ergonomic plier tool having a 360-degree rotative and exchangeable head. The tool includes a body, lever, head cylinder, piston and jaw assembly. The disclosed tool allows an operator to work in tight spaces with her hand in one plane, while cutting/manipulating an object in an infinite number of planes different from that of her hand.

Circlip pliers comprise a first plier and a second plier. The first plier is provided with an external connection portion, an internal connection portion, and a pivot portion located between the external connection portion and the internal connection portion. The second plier is provided with an external connection portion, an internal connection portion, and a second pivot portion located between the second external connection portion and the second internal connection portion. The external connection portions are adapted to insert into grip holes in an external circlip. The internal connection portions are adapted to insert into grip holes in an internal circlip. The first and second pivot portions are pivotally connected with each other.

An improved parallel-jaws locking wrench/plier with toggle action includes a body element, a fixed jaw, and a moving jaw capable of moving rectilinearly by means of an action cam, which is pivotally connected to a locking lever coupling respectively to the upper ends of a fulcrum bar and a releasing lever thereof. A handle secured to the body element has an axially adjustable screw to regulate the opening of the jaws. This is the chosen embodiment to develop this invention, which enables the toggle wrench/pliers to use interchangeable jaw sets with simple and convenient steps.

A clamp mount and clamp assembly using a clamp mount are provided. The clamp mount is used to attach a clamp to a workbench or other support device so that a workpiece can be clamped to a work surface. The clamp mount may include a removable shoe. The clamp mount may include a plurality of attachment plates for attaching the clamp mount to different supports or different mounting features of the support device.

A pliers, configured to assemble an end cap to a vehicle cable, an end cap set including a plurality of end caps connected with one another, the pliers including: a main body and a connecting mechanism. The main body includes a first handling portion, a second handling portion and a receiving portion. The first handling portion is pivotally connected with the second handling portion. The first handling portion is movable relative to the second handling portion between a first position and a second position, and the receiving portion has a receiving space configured to receive the end cap set. The connecting mechanism is connected with the first handling portion and includes a cutting portion, a pressing portion and a feeding member. The cutting portion and the pressing portion correspond to the receiving space, and the feeding member is configured to move the end cap set.

A hand tool provided with a first handle, a second handle, a first working portion, a second working portion and a working portion connecting mechanism. The first handle is fixedly connected to the first working portion, the second handle is pivotably connected to the second working portion, and the second working portion is connected to the first working portion through the working portion connecting mechanism, the second working portion has a first position and a second position, and the working portion connecting mechanism causes the second working portion to be moved from the first position to the second position when the second handle is moved from away from the first handle to closer to the first handle. The first position is the position where the second working portion is located away from the first working portion, and the second working portion is rotated and translated relative to the first working portion when the second working portion is in the second position. The hand tool can provide a greater clamping force, helping to further save labor.
