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.

An anti-slip torque tool that utilizes a plurality of grooves to prevent slippage and facilitate torque transfer to a fastener. The tool includes a wrench torque-tool body and an at least one engagement element. The wrench torque-tool body includes a plurality of internal sidewalls, a first base, and a second base. Further, each of the internal sidewalls includes a bracing surface. The engagement element includes at least one first groove and at least one second groove, wherein each further includes a primary cavity and a secondary cavity. The engagement element is laterally integrated into a specific sidewall to provide additional gripping action. The first groove and the second groove are positioned offset from each other, along the bracing surface of the specific sidewall. The primary cavity and the secondary cavity each traverse normal and into the bracing surface from the first base to the second base.

A wieldy unidirectional small swing-angle ratcheting wrench devised for torqueing hexagonal nut fasteners axially placed on hydraulic hoses or similar lines. The invention is formed of a pair of facing matching mirror image bident-shaped solid skins bound together through a solid flat filler sandwiched between the handle sections, which also functions as a mechanical support and spacer. The head cavity houses within its U-shaped elliptical head section a wrenching mechanism comprised of an open-ended ratcheting cog wheel with a central hexagonal slot of definite size. The cog wheel is ratcheted by two spring-biased pawls deployed inside the assembled tool's neck cavity which provide continuous alternating unidirectional engagement, while the outer solid skins at the head are suitably shaped to allow protrusion of the cog wheel's teeth at the sides for simple direct rotation of the wheel for alignment of the cog wheel's and skins' openings together for engagement and removal of the tool.

The combined battery jumper cable with wrench is configured for use with a vehicle. The combined battery jumper cable with wrench forms an electric termination that attaches a cable to a terminal post of the vehicle battery. The combined battery jumper cable with wrench forms a ratchet that is used to attach an electrical terminal of the vehicle to the terminal post of the vehicle battery. The combined battery jumper cable with wrench includes a working head, a transfer mount, and a motive structure. The transfer mount attaches the motive structure to the working head. The working head is the working element of the tool. The motive structure transfer externally provided energy to the working head through the transfer mount. The motive structure removably attaches to the transfer mount.

A plier wrench is provided and includes a jaw that can be disengaged from the remainder of the wrench and reengaged with the remainder of the wrench while the remainder of the wrench remains in its fully assembled condition. In one form, the jaw is “reversible” and includes two different jaw surfaces that can be selectively utilized depending upon the type of workpiece that will be engaged by the plier wrench.

A wrench and nut combination, including: a wrench lug including: a wrench lug feature that substantially mates with a nut feature of a nut of a shock absorber during a first rotation of said nut, relative to external body threads on a body of the shock absorber, in a first direction, wherein the wrench lug feature and the nut feature release during a second rotation of said nut, relative to the external body threads, in a second direction, wherein at least one of the first rotation and the second rotation causes an adjustment to a compressive coil spring pre-load of a set of coil springs disposed in the shock absorber.

A two-way nut spanner has a handle and an engaging head having a base, a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion. The base has a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface respectively located on two opposite sides of the base. The first engaging portion protrudes from the first abutting surface of the base and has multiple first engaging blocks. Each of the engaging blocks has a first inclined surface. The second engaging portion protrudes from the second abutting surface of the base and has a second engaging block having a second inclined surface. The engaging head has the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion with different engaging structures to enhance convenience for using the two-way nut spanner.
