A wrench has a first segment and a second segment pivotally coupled together. The second segment is selectively positionable at various fixed pivotal positions relative to the first segment. The first and the second segments engage with a locking device. The first segment has a first joining end forming a first positioning surface and a second positioning surface. The locking device includes a catch selectively engagable and disengagable from the first and the second positioning surfaces. The catch has a body section abutting against the first positioning surface in a direction radial to the axis of rotation when the first segment is at a first fixed pivotal position relative to the second segment. The first body section is abutted against the second positioning surface in a direction radial to the axis of rotation when the first segment is at a second fixed pivotal position relative to the second segment.

A faucet actuator torque increasing system and method for increasing torque applied to an actuator includes a grip. The grip has a perimeter wall with a continuous convexly arcuate shape. A coupler is removably mounted on the perimeter wall of the grip. The coupler includes a first segment and a second segment which are pivotably coupled to each other via a connector. The first and second segments move between a closed condition engaging the grip and an open condition for disengaging the grip. Each of the first and second segments has an interior surface. The interior surfaces abut the grip in the closed condition. A locking member releasably locks the coupler in the closed condition. A handle is integrally attached to and extends away from the coupler. A stop is attached to the coupler to abut against the grip when in the closed condition.

A cleat removal wrench is provided having a pair of cleat engagement members projecting arced, terminal edges to a plane subjacent relative to a pair of handle portions. The terminal edges are disposed to distribute force applied at the handle portions to the base or shank of a cleat to garner purchase at the cleat base or shank and enable application of torque and thereby more easily remove and replace cleats on sporting footwear.

A socket is provided, including a first member, a second member and a third member. The second member is movably inserted within the first member. The third member is movably sleeved with the first member.

Provided is a tightening device capable of easily capturing a change in a contact state of a member to be tightened such as a bolt or the like and also reliably performing fastening. A tightening device (10) tightens a bolt (A) to a work piece (B) in a state where a main body (11) is engaged with the bolt (A), and includes: a magnet (11b) that holds the bolt (A) with respect to the main body (11); and lower cam members (15) that enable fixation in a fixed state where a binding force on the bolt (A) is larger than that in the held state by the magnet (11b). The lower cam member (15) is capable of maintaining the fixed state before the tightening work of tightening the bolt (A) to the work piece (B) is performed and releasing the fixed state after the tightening work is started.

The wrench has a thumb switch, when operated, opens against a spring bias the pivotal ring portion around the axis pin attached to the fixed head portion of the wrench head portion, allowing a tube or pipe attached to the fastener to access the confines of the wrench head hexagonal inner profile via the said access channel now provided, the opening of the pivotal ring portion involves approximately 50% of the wrench head portion, the said pivotal ring portion encompassing approximately 50% of the wrench head inner profile. The corner profiles next to the swivel joints are scalloped such that when the pivotal ring is opened the scallops substantially align forming a passageway required for the abutting fastener drive corner to traverse through.

The invention relates generally to a hand operated wire cutting tool that can perform multiple functions. More so the invention relates to the fire service tasks of cutting wire(s) in a confined space with limited movement, feel and visibility. The said invention is a new functional tool that dramatically increases the efficiency to cut wire(s) and/or cuttable objects in the negative and challenging conditions of confined spaces and/or entrapment situations with zero visibility. The invention uses two or more guides that directly contact wire(s) and direct them into the cutting area. The wire(s) contacts the guides and then enters the cutting area on the proximal and/or user side of the invention; this allows for the invention user to easily locate wire(s) with the length of their arm and direct wire(s) into the invention's cutting area with simple directional movement of the invention towards the user. By adducting the invention toward the user, the wire(s) move across the user's arm toward the guides of the invention and straight into the cutting area of the invention.

A wrench head (100) comprises a working axis (1089), a first jaw (110), a second jaw (120), and a third jaw (130). The first jaw (110) comprises first-jaw arcuate convex contact surfaces (111). The second jaw (120), is coupled with and pivotable relative to the first jaw (110), and comprises second-jaw arcuate convex contact surfaces (121). The third jaw (130), is coupled with and pivotable relative to the second jaw (120), and comprises a third-jaw arcuate convex contact surface (131A) and a third-jaw planar contact surface (155A).
