POWER RATCHET TOOL CAPABLE OF ACCESSING NARROW AND ELONGATED SPACES
A power ratchet tool capable of accessing narrow and elongated spaces includes a handle, a head, and a mounting cover. The handle has a transmission device having an idler and an eccentric spindle. The idler has a toothed portion. The eccentric spindle has a gear portion and an abutting portion. The gear portion engages with the toothed portion. The head is mounted to the handle and has a length being between 3 inches and 28 inches, an extended housing and a bushing. The extended housing is mounted to the handle and has a receiving groove. The receiving groove is recessed in the extended housing. The bushing is received in the receiving groove. The handle and the head are mounted together by the mounting cover. The abutting portion of the eccentric spindle abuts against the bushing, such that the bushing sleeves the eccentric spindle.
Indexable Ratchet Tool
A tool with a handle indexably retained to a pin. The pin is coupled to a head of the tool. The pin allows an angle between the head and the handle to be adjusted, thereby allowing the tool to be used in hard to reach places. The pin is coupled to the head to limit axial movement without the need of a threaded fastener. The reduction of axial movement allows for smooth, consistent operation of the tool.
Adjustable light attachment for extension tool
A method of illuminating a target area and driving rotation a driven tool comprises coupling a light attachment assembly to an elongated extension member by placing a portion of the elongated extension member within a hollow portion of a sheath of the light attachment assembly. Activating a light source of the light attachment assembly. Positioning the driven tool within the target area while grasping the light attachment assembly. Driving rotation of both the driven tool and the elongated extension member while grasping the light attachment assembly when the driven tool is positioned within the target are such that the portion of the elongated extension member housed within the hollow portion of the sheath rotates relative to the light assembly.
Wrench rotational axis re-positioning apparatus
A wrench rotational axis re-positioning apparatus includes a housing, an interior cavity defined in the housing, input and output gear assemblies mounted to the housing and disposed in the interior cavity in a meshing contact with one another and rotatable about respective first and second axes arranged in a right angle configuration with one another, the input and output gear assemblies having respective input and output fittings for connection to respective drive and driven devices, and a ratcheting mechanism mounted to the housing and extending from exterior thereof into the interior cavity such that the ratcheting mechanism is presettable, or manually manipulatable, in either one of first and second orientations relative to the output gear assembly to enable the latter to correspondingly rotate in one or the other opposite direction about the second axis in response to the input gear assembly being rotated in either opposite direction about the first axis.
Wire stripping tool
A wire stripping tool includes a shaft having a handle at a distal end and a wire cutting device at a proximal end. The wire cutting device is a circular metallic form the plane of which is secured centrally and perpendicular to the shaft. A plurality of notches is disposed about the circumference of the circular metallic form.
WRENCH HEAD
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).
BROKEN LIGHT BULB EXTRACTOR AND LIGHT BULB CHANGER
A light bulb remover extracts a broken light bulb from a socket of a high-hat light fixture. The light bulb remover has an extension pole and an extractor head attached to the extension pole. The extractor head has a guide which defines an outer circumference of the extractor head and a bulb extractor configured for engaging in a base of the broken light bulb and creating a friction connection with the base of the light bulb. The bulb extractor is surrounded by the guide, and the guide has a diameter being less than a diameter of the high-hat light fixture and dimensioned so that when the light bulb remover is disposed within the high-hat light fixture the bulb extractor is self-aligned with a middle area of the base of the broken light bulb.
Multi-tool wrench
The multi-tool wrench is a single tool that provides multiple tools useful by a craftsman. The multi-tool wrench comprises a first tool half and a second tool half that are removably coupled by a quick disconnect. The halves may be decoupled for use in confined spaces or to simultaneously use tools from each half. The first tool half provides an adjustable wrench and two pivoting hex keys. The adjustable wrench has a reversible lower jaw to convert the wrench into a pipe wrench. The second tool half provides a set of three open end wrenches, a pivoting flat blade screwdriver, and a pivoting cross head screwdriver. The open end wrenches and hex keys may be sized to provide common tools needed in a specific occupation or field. As a non-limiting example, the tools may be common sizes used by a welder.
OFFSET ADJUSTABLE WRENCH
Various offset adjustable wrenches and methods are disclosed herein. The offset adjustable wrench has first and second jaws. The second jaw can be moved relative to the first jaw to grip objects of various sizes. The second jaw can be connected to a sliding element that can reduce or eliminate wobble of the second jaw to improve grip strength. The first and second jaws can be offset from a handle such that a user can grip and rotate an object with the offset adjustable wrench without injuring the user's hand contacting an adjacent surface, such as a wall or ceiling.
WRENCH HEAD
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 surface (111A), second first-jaw arcuate convex contact surface (111B), third first-jaw arcuate convex contact surface (111C), and first-jaw planar contact surface (160). The second jaw (120) is coupled with and pivotable relative to the first jaw (110) and comprises a second-jaw arcuate convex contact surface (121A) and a second-jaw planar contact surface (140A). 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).
