Flex joint lock button

A button lock that selectively retains the angle of an object relative to a handle. The button lock is rotatable between an engaged position, where the angle is retained, and a disengaged position, where the object is disengaged from the handle and can pivotally move about the handle to change the angle. In the engaged position, button teeth on the button engage with handle teeth on the handle. In the disengaged position, the button teeth disengage the handle teeth to space the button from the handle and therefore allow free movement of the handle about the button. The button therefore quickly and easily retains the angle between the object and the handle.

An accessory for use with a rotary power tool having a rotatable spindle and a first mating member. The accessory includes a housing having a body and a plurality of arms extending therefrom, a hub selectively engagable with the spindle to lock the accessory to the power tool, and a sleeve slidable along the arms between a first position and a second position, where the sleeve includes a plurality of apertures through which the corresponding plurality of arms extend. When the sleeve is in the first position the sleeve locks the hub to the spindle to secure the accessory to the power tool, and wherein when the sleeve is in the second position the sleeve disengages the hub from the spindle to release the accessory from the power tool.

MODULAR TOOL BIT HOLDER SYSTEM
20230101161 · 2023-03-30 ·

A modular tool bit holder system includes an angle tool bit holder, a flexible shaft tool bit holder. The angle tool bit holder includes a housing containing a first input shaft, a first angle gear rotatably drivable about a first axis, a second angle gear, and a first bit holder rotatably drivable by the first angle gear about a second axis at an angle to the first axis. The flexible shaft tool bit holder includes a second input shaft, a flexible intermediate shaft rotatably drivable by the second input shaft, and a second tool bit holder rotatably drivable by the flexible intermediate shaft. The angle tool bit holder and the flexible shaft tool bit holder are operable separately or in combination. A connection assembly is configured to non-rotatably couple the angle tool bit holder and the flexible shaft tool bit holder when they are operable in combination.

CONFIGURABLE LEVERAGE BIT DRIVER HANDLE
20220347821 · 2022-11-03 ·

A configurable leverage bit driver includes a first elongate shaft having a first bit receiving socket in an end face of the distal end. A second elongate shaft is dimensioned to couple with the first elongate shaft in a first axially aligned bit driving configuration. At least one aperture is defined in a lateral side of the second elongate shaft and is dimensioned to selective couple with the first elongate shaft to configure the first elongate shaft and the second elongate shaft in a second bit driving configuration with the second elongate shaft oriented as a lever arm aligned in a transverse axis to the longitudinal axis of the first elongate shaft. The second bit driving configuration may be one or more of a T-handle or an offset T-handle bit driver for increased leverage in driving a fastener.

DUAL SIZE FASTENER DRIVER

A fastener driver includes a shank and a socket. The socket includes a first engagement portion with a first fastener and a second engagement portion engageable with a second fastener. The first fastener is different than the second fastener. The socket is movable relative to the shank between a first position, in which the first engagement portion is usable to engage the first fastener, and a second position, in which the second engagement portion is usable to engage the second fastener. The socket is movable between the first and second positions without physically separating the socket from the shank.

SOCKET WRENCH
20230030833 · 2023-02-02 ·

A socket wrench is provided, including: a sleeving portion, including a sleeving hole disposed therethrough along a first direction; a connecting arm, extending from the sleeving portion in a direction lateral to the first direction; an operation rod; and a pin member, pinning the connecting arm and the operation rod in a direction non-perpendicular to the first direction so that the operation rod is rotatable about the pin member relative to the sleeving portion.

Extendable wrench
11485009 · 2022-11-01 · ·

The present invention provides an extendable wrench comprising: a wrench having a head portion and a shaft connected to a rear end of the head portion; an insertion hole recessed at a rear end of the shaft; a cover to dismountably close the insertion hole; an extension rod with a front end formed with a plug to be plug-connected with or separated from the insertion hole of the wrench; and an elastic positioning member provided between the plug of the extension rod and the insertion hole of the wrench, when the plug of the extension rod is plug-connected with the insertion hole, the elastic positioning member keeps the plug in position. Thereby, the wrench can be operated independently; when application of larger operating torque is required, the extension rod can be combined with a rear end of the wrench to form a longer operating arm of force to meet the requirements of large torque.

Power wrench with adjustable trigger position

A power wrench includes a cylindrical housing, an electric motor, an output shaft connected to the motor and a power switching device activated by a trigger located on the housing. The trigger is supported on an annular sleeve element coaxially disposed and rotatable relative to the housing for enabling adjustment of the angular position of the trigger relative to the housing. Irrespective of its angular position the trigger is arranged to axially displace a non-rotatable activation ring to activate the power switching device. The housing includes an adjustable angle head supporting the output shaft and arranged to be set in alternative angular positions relative to the housing.
