On-board hand tool accessory
A hand tool for servicing a power tool or other host tool is adapted to be readily mountable to and dismountable from the host tool via magnetic coupling. The hand tool includes a handle body, and a nut driver supported on the handle body. The handle body may define a bifurcated support, and the tool may include a pivot pin extending through the bifurcated support and the nut driver to support the nut driver on the tool. The nut driver defines at least one socket region dimensioned to receive a nut, and further is magnetized for magnetic coupling with a nut positioned within the socket region. In one embodiment, the nut driver houses a discrete magnet for this purpose. A second magnet may be supported on the handle body toward its central portion.
Hydraulic brake pipe assembly and brake pipe fitting tool
A brake pipe fitting tool includes a first hydraulic pipe wrench, a second hydraulic pipe wrench, a connecting portion and a handle portion. The first hydraulic pipe wrench has a first jaw defining a first hydraulic pipe insertion opening. The second hydraulic pipe wrench has a second jaw defining a second hydraulic pipe insertion opening. The connecting portion connects the first hydraulic pipe wrench to the second hydraulic pipe wrench such that the first hydraulic pipe wrench and the second hydraulic pipe wrench are fixedly and rigidly connected to one another and spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance. The first hydraulic pipe insertion opening and the second hydraulic pipe insertion opening are parallel to one another and aligned with one another. The handle portion is rigidly fixed to one of the first hydraulic pipe wrench, the second hydraulic pipe wrench or the connecting portion.

Wrench head
A wrench head comprises a working axis, a first jaw, a second jaw, and a third jaw. The first jaw comprises a first-jaw arcuate convex contact surface, a second first-jaw arcuate convex contact surface, a third first-jaw arcuate convex contact surface, and a first-jaw planar contact surface. The second jaw is coupled with and pivotable relative to the first jaw and comprises a second-jaw arcuate convex contact surface, a second second-jaw arcuate convex contact surface, and a second-jaw planar contact surface. The third jaw is coupled with and pivotable relative to the second jaw and comprises third-jaw arcuate convex contact surfaces.
Open-end wrench with dual wrenching modes
A wrench with an open-end wrench head that has at least two jaws. Each jaw has at least one internal engaging surface for engaging with a work-piece such as a nut or bolt that has an axis of rotation. Each of the at least one internal engaging surface of each jaw extends in a direction that creates an imaginary line when the wrench is viewed from a side view thereof. The wrench also has a handle extending from the wrench head and elongated in a predetermined direction defining at least one central axis of the handle. And, the wrench also has a ratcheting means that provides ratcheting capability to the wrench head when the handle is twisted back and forth by a user.

PORTABLE WRENCH HOLDER
A wrench holder for holding and carrying a set of wrenches, each wrench having an elongated handle and an open jaw extending from the handle, comprises a frame having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. There is a spring coiled about the first side of the frame. The spring has coils which receive the handles of the wrenches. The second side of the frame engages the open jaws of the wrenches when the handles of the wrenches are received between the coils of the spring to restrict outward rotation of the wrenches relative to the wrench holder.

Apparatus and method for facilitating fastening of fasteners
Apparatuses and methods for facilitating fastening of a fastener are provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a body portion that extends distally from a body proximal portion to a body distal portion. A head portion extends distally from the body distal portion. A first prong that extends distally from a first prong proximal section that has a first thickness to a first prong distal section that has a second thickness that is less than the first thickness. A second prong that extends distally from a second prong proximal section that has a third thickness to a second prong distal section that has a fourth thickness that is less than the third thickness. The second prong is spaced apart from the first prong to define a gap therebetween that is configured to receive the fastener.
