This application discloses an apparatus 100 for use with an electrically, hydraulically and/or pneumatically driven torque tool for tightening or loosening inaccessible threaded fasteners including a drive extension assembly 110, a reaction assembly 120 and a socket assembly 130. Advantageously the present invention uses an external reaction member which holds on to two (2) or four (4) adjacent studs while turning a fastener with an extended drive ball and socket joint connection. It more efficiently distributes/reduces the side loads and system strains from the reaction forces on the bolts by bringing the reaction point much closer to the fastener being turned. It allows for a plurality of fastener approach angles and is adaptable to a plurality of fastener obstructions. It's relatively lightweight, easy to maneuver from fastener to fastener and overall user friendly.

A tool and system for loosening or removing a torque resistant threaded fastener assembly. The system can be used with a bench receiver or vehicle mounted receiver and can be used to loosen “frozen” threaded fastener assemblies. The orientation of the components enables a user to place sufficient torque on a “frozen” threaded fastener. In this way the system enables the user to remove or disassemble a corroded combination (e.g.) a corroded or rusted nut and bolt.

A screwdriver assembly includes a screwdriver shaft and an insert. The screwdriver shaft extends longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and having a longitudinal channel extending therethrough. The insert has a longitudinal shaft received within the longitudinal channel and a distal end extending distally relative to the distal end of the screwdriver shaft. The insert shaft is rotatable relative to the screwdriver shaft. The distal end of the insert is sized and shaped to engage a head of a screw. The distal end of the insert is disengaged from the screw bead by rotating the insert relative to the screwdriver shaft.

A telescopic tool includes a positioning device mounted between first and second rods. The first rod includes a first positioning hole, and a first gripping portion. The second rod includes a plurality of second positioning holes, and is movable relative to the first rod to align the first positioning hole with one of the second positioning holes. A switch controller is movable relative to the first rod and is movably coupled to a positioning member. The positioning member movably extends through the first positioning hole and is releasably engaged in one of the second positioning holes in response to movement of the switch controller relative to the first rod. A fixing member includes a second gripping portion mounted around the first rod. A resilient biasing member is pivotally connected to the first rod and pressing against the positioning member.

A torque stick and torque wrench combination is provided that allows attachment of the torque stick to an impact tool to quickly fasten a nut or lug to an approximate desired torque. The operator can attach a torque wrench to an aperture of the torque stick to complete the fastening operation and achieve higher accuracy on the applied torque than a torque stick alone. In this way, the combination torque stick and torque wrench enable a greater degree of accuracy on the fastener's torque. The operator can also complete the fastening process without disassembling the connection of the torque stick from the lug.

A driver extension with hand knobs is shown and described. The driver extension with hand knobs includes an elongated rod. The elongated rod has a first end opposite a second end. The first end of the elongated rod is a tool attachment end. The second end of the elongated rod is a securement end for a socket or a screwdriver. A pair of opposing hand knobs are secured along the elongated rod extending away from the elongated rod. The knobs are positioned in the same plane.

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.

An extension adapter includes a body, a collar, and a gasket. The body includes a front portion, a rear portion, and a flange separating the front portion from the rear portion. The front portion has a larger diameter than the rear portion. The body also includes an inner surface that defines a bore configured to receive a tool bit. The collar is moveable along the rear portion of the body between an unlocked position in which the tool bit is removable from the bore and a locked position in which the tool bit is secured to the body. The gasket is coupled to the rear portion of the body and abutting the flange. The gasket is compressed between the flange and the collar when the collar is in the locked position to block dust and debris from entering the bore.

An insulating ratchet driver with pivoting head has: a handle, a spring, a pressing knob, a driving head and a pivoting member. The pivoting member is provided with a cover made of an insulating material. All metal portions of the handle, the pressing knob and the driving head are coated with an insulating layer.

The invention is a hand tool with an operating head, which comprises: a main body having two parallel ears spaced apart at a front end; and a working head having a body; a column connected to one side of the body; another side of the body is provided with a pivotal block and two flaps to pivotally connect the two ears of the main body between the pivotal block and the two flaps respectively. The two flaps are capable of assisting in supporting outer sides of the two ears to relatively strengthen a structure of the ear, thereby enhancing a torsion exerted by the column on a workpiece, and enhancing durability and strength of the column.
