Screw/nut/bolt driver for pneumatic, impact, hand crank or other use having an insertable magnet in the head to hold/keep screw/nut/bolt or specialized tips attached to driver but inserted by screwing it in, as it is threaded and inside of driver head (below screw/nut/bolt receiving area), is identically threaded to receive it
20220193869 · 2022-06-23 ·

The unique aspect of this invention is the fact that the magnet insert screws into the driver shaft head rather than being pressed in under pressure. The best design for this invention includes self-locking threads as well and the combination of using a threaded installation of the magnet insert and the locking threads is an additional unique attribute to this invention. This unique a threaded install attribute helps prevent the magnet insert from coming out under impact pressure and even if it does it allows it to be reinserted using a screwing mechanism and when reinserted will remain in place unlike existing press-in products. A third unique attribute of this invention is the depression at the top of the magnet insert designed to receive a screwing tools such as a flat head or Philips screw driver, hex, Allen, etc., making it possible to easily reinsert the magnet insert and tighten it firmly in place.

Drum speed key tool

A novel drum speed key tool that provides improved balance and efficiency for the installation, tightening, and removal of drum lug nuts. The drum speed key tool provides a finger receiving cup to allow a user to insert a finger or grip with their hand and efficiently apply rotational force to the drum speed key while maintaining attached to the drum lug nut with reduced slippage of the drum speed key tool from both the user's grip and the drum lug nut.

Hand tool with a handle
11338428 · 2022-05-24 · ·

A hand tool includes a handle, a press member, a shank body and multiple latch assemblies. The handle is formed with a receiving cavity and a locating hole in communication with the receiving cavity. The press member is movably disposed in the locating hole. The shank body is fitted in the receiving cavity and movable relative to the handle. The shank body is formed with multiple sockets. The latch assemblies are respectively mounted in the sockets. When the shank body is moved, (for example, slid or rotated) relative to the handle to make one of the sockets aligned with the locating hole, the latch assembly latches the shank body with the handle. When pressing the press member, the latch assembly unlatches the shank body from the handle, the shank body is movable relative to the handle.

Extendable Wrench Tool
20220152794 · 2022-05-19 ·

This present invention relates to an extendable wrench and ratchet tool kit comprising a plurality of tool heads, one or more metal shafts or rods, and a metal tube or cylinder including a handle. The extendable wrench and ratchet tool allows an operator to connect any of the metal shafts to the handle at one end and connect any of the tool heads to the shafts at another end. The extendable wrench and ratchet tool kit features a spring-loaded locking mechanism or other similar mechanism to lock the metal shaft or rod at equally spaced grooves in order to selectively extend or retract the metal shaft to a desired length in order to access a fastener positioned in a hard to reach area.

Self-retaining screwdriver with engaging tip feature

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 head by rotating the insert relative to the screwdriver shaft.
