Pipe Wrench with Improved Design for Side Bite
A hand tool includes a handle section, a working end operably coupled to the handle section, and a jaw assembly disposed at the working end. The jaw assembly includes a movable jaw and a fixed jaw. A span defined between the movable jaw and the fixed jaw is adjustable. Each of the movable jaw and the fixed jaw includes an array of teeth defined by ridges that extend substantially parallel to each other. The array of teeth on each of the fixed jaw and the movable jaw includes a first set of teeth having a first width and a first depth, and a second set of teeth having a second width and a second depth. The first depth is less than the second depth and the first width is less than the second width.
Method for installation and removal of retention knobs
A retention knob tool. A tubular body, is held in the tubular sleeve, and symmetrically formed around an axis. The tubular body also has an internal bore. Four locking ball retainer sockets are formed in the tubular body. A retention knob aperture is recessed within a top plate. Four balls are movably held in the ball retainer sockets. A tubular end stop is affixed to the tubular body rearward end. A drive tool cavity is recessed within the tubular body rearward end. The sleeve forward end includes a recessed circumferential portion bounded by a first thicker portion of the inside wall, where the first thicker portion bears against the balls when the tubular body is translated rearwardly into an inward lock position and the inward force is removed from the plurality of balls when the tubular body is extended forwardly into a release position.

ANGLE VALVE WRENCH
An angle valve wrench configured for use in rotating an angle valve, the angle valve wrench having a body with a first end and a second end, defining a length L1. The body also has an outside surface and a central axis that is parallel to the length L1 and that passes through the first and second ends. A notch is formed at the first end that corresponds to an angle valve handle. A gripping element is formed on the outside surface of the wrench near the second end. A user places the notch of the wrench over a conventional angle valve from a standing position and rotates the wrench about the central axis, causing the angle valve handle to rotate.
Self-drilling expandable anchor installation tool and methods of use thereof
A self-drilling expandable anchor installation tool operable with a self-drilling expandable anchor.
Self-drilling expandable anchor installation tool and methods of use thereof
A self-drilling expandable anchor installation tool operable with a self-drilling expandable anchor.
Adjustable socket assembly
An adjustable socket assembly includes a collet having a first end, a second end, and a perimeter wall. The second end has a receiving aperture therein. The collet is divided into a plurality of sections. A sleeve has a bottom end that receives the collet. The sleeve has an interior surface that tapers inwardly and abuts the sections to move toward each other as the sleeve moves toward the second ends of the sections. A biasing member extends through a top end of the sleeve and engages each of the sections. The biasing member is actuated to bias the sleeve downward to close together the sections and engaged the valve actuator. An engagement head is attached to the upper end of the biasing member and engages a tool to rotate the collet.

Pipe Wrench
A wrench includes a body having a head and a handle portion defining a longitudinal axis. The wrench includes a first jaw coupled to the head with the first jaw including first teeth and an edge. The edge defines a width of the first jaw. The wrench includes a second jaw extending through an aperture of the head with the second jaw including a threaded portion and second teeth. The wrench includes an actuator coupled to the threaded portion of the second jaw such that rotation of the actuator relative to the second jaw moves the second teeth relative to the first teeth. A length is measured from the edge of the first jaw to the second end of the handle portion parallel to the longitudinal axis. A ratio of the width of the first jaw over the length is less than 0.06.
Torque imparting device
A torquing tool having an apertured head supporting a perimetral toothed surface closable about a rotary object in a self-fitting/clamping manner, wherein the aperture head provides a ratchet enable pawl operatively associable with the perimetral toothed surface.
