20170348834 · 2017-12-07 ·

A screw tool system for use with vehicle covers includes a vehicle screw adapter which interfaces with the receiver end of the screw and uses a standard cordless power screwdriver to drive the screw either into or out of the frame and vehicle top. A standard screwdriver handle could be used in place of the cordless power screwdriver. The cordless power screwdriver is preferred over a corded power screwdriver due to ease of use and lower power, which reduces the threat of stripping the screw.

Oil filter wrench

An oil filter wrench having a base, a main gear, a plurality of claws each having a gear portion and an arm configured to engage an oil filter. The gear portions are rotatably disposed within the base and configured to engage the main gear such that when the main gear rotates; the arms correspondingly extend or contract relative to the base. The oil filter wrench also includes a main spring. The main spring is disposed within a cavity defined by the main gear. The main spring is configured to selectively bias the main gear toward rotation in either a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction. The oil filter wrench is characterised in that it also includes a switching mechanism a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism is configured to selectively toggle between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the switching mechanism engages a first tine of the main spring such that the main gear is biased to rotate in the first direction. In the second position, the switching mechanism engages a second tine of the main spring such that the main gear is biased to rotate in the second direction. The switching mechanism is toggled between the first and second positions by respectively engaging a first pin or a second pin that is integrated into one of the plurality of claws.

An adjustable dual-range wrench including an elongate handle and a fixed jaw carried by the handle. The fixed jaw includes multiple teeth disposed linearly along the jaw. A hook jaw is pivotably coupled to the handle opposite the fixed jaw. A toothed lobe is adjustably positioned along the fixed jaw between an outer engagement region sized to engage a first range of sizes and an inner engagement region sized to engage a second range of sizes. The hook jaw comprises a first set of teeth associated with the outer engagement region and a second set of teeth associated with the inner engagement region.

Fittings, Components, and Associated Tools

Described are fittings, components, and associated tools for use in coupling pipe or tubing. The described fittings generally include a unitary body having an outer surface and an inner lumen forming a void within said unitary body. The lumen is configured to receive threads for mating with the threads of a female sub end of a pipe or tube. The outer surface includes at least one aperture for receiving a tool that can be inserted within said aperture so as to rotate the fitting about an axis that extends through the lumen of the unitary body. The at least one apertures provide a safe and convenient way to tighten and loosen the fitting during the process of coupling pipe or tubing.

Combination Pipe and Spud Wrench
20220055190 · 2022-02-24 ·

A combination pipe and spud wrench features a main body having an elongated shank, and a shoulder jutting laterally outward from the shank at a distal portion thereof. A channel passes axially through the shoulder, a distal face of which has flat and serrated jaws on opposing sides of the channel. A working body has a stem passing axially through the channel, a second flat jaw facing the shoulder's flat jaw on a first side of the stem, and a second serrated jaw facing the shoulder's serrated jaw on a second side of the stem. An adjustment nut threaded on the stem is axially constrained position, and is rotatable to displace the working body and thereby adjustably resize the flat-sided and serrated jaw spaces. The stem is biased in a default position placing flat jaws parallel to one another, and is tiltable in one direction from its default position.
