An adapter for a bearing race and seal driver tool that allows the tool to be used in hard to reach applications. The adapter connects to a driver and a handle at a non-zero angle, for example a right angle, to allow the adapter to be struck at a face of the adapter rather than the handle to be struck at an end of the handle. A pocket is included at one or more connection points between the adapter and the handle or driver to resist rotational movement of the handle or driver.

A method for manufacturing an operation rod of a wrench assembly for disassembling a fan clutch, including following steps of: preparing a rod material; fixing the rod material on a forging mold; carrying out a forging process to produce a semi-finished head; carrying out a cutout process, cutting the remainder structure out of the semi-finished head; obtaining a finished product of a head portion, the head portion including two wing plates and a shaft which are integrally formed.

A tool for gaining lateral access to a well includes a head portion configured to advance axially forwardly relative to a lateral access passage. The tool includes a first shaft and a shaft assembly including a second shaft. The second shaft is at least partly received in the first shaft so as to be axially forwardly moveable therewith. In use, axial forward movement of the first and second shafts causes forward advancement of the head portion. The second shaft is axially forwardly moveable relative to the first shaft. The first shaft includes an internal thread and the shaft assembly includes an external thread engaging the internal thread of the first shaft so that relative rotation of the internal and external threads causes the axial forward movement of the second shaft relative to the first shaft without rotation of the second shaft relative to the first shaft.

A nut runner accessory for a power-driven tool is provided. The nut runner accessory can include a gear assembly received in a housing. The gear assembly transfers an externally generated force to a driver head of the nut runner accessory. The driver head can include a plurality of stepped pockets that can receive and engage different sizes and/or configurations of nuts to be threaded onto/off of a threaded rod. The driver head can be counterweighted, to counteract imbalance generated due to an offset between a center of mass of the driver head and a center of rotation of the driver head.

An adjustable shock absorber system includes: a coil over shock absorber with a spring and a lockable adjustment ring; a protective cover assembly, optionally including top and bottom cover portions; a shock adjuster tool with a lever arm and a tool grip portion, including a band assembly, and a tool attachment assembly, including a connector member and a tool member; such that the tool grip portion detachably connects to the peripheral mounting surface of the lockable adjustment ring; whereby the shock adjuster tool can be used to adjust a preload of the coil-over shock absorber. Alternatively, an adjustable shock absorber system includes: a coil-over shock absorber with a spring and an adjustment ring; an adjustment ring assembly, which detachably interlocks with the adjustment ring; and a shock adjuster tool with a lever arm and a tool grip portion, which detachably connects with the adjustment ring assembly.

A quick-release structure includes a shaft and a driving assembly. Two ends of the shaft have a receiving hole and a connecting hole, respectively. The driving assembly includes a rotating handle and a connecting rod. One end of the rotating handle is provided with an end cap. The connecting rod includes a pivoting end and a driving section. The rotating handle is pivotally connected to the pivoting end of the connecting rod so that the rotating handle can be pivoted relative to one side of the connecting rod. When in use, the driving section is engaged in the connecting hole, and the rotating handle can be turned to drive the shaft to rotate; when not in use, the driving assembly is inserted into the receiving hole, and the end cap is pressed against an outer end of the receiving hole to be positioned.

An instrument for transmitting torque is described. The instrument comprises a torque receiving portion at a proximal end of the instrument, a torque delivering portion at a distal end of the instrument, and a flexible shaft extending between the torque receiving portion and the torque delivering portion. The flexible shaft comprises torque transmitting elements coupled in series along a longitudinal direction of the shaft. A female coupling feature of a torque transmitting element comprises a notch and a male coupling of an adjacent torque transmitting element comprises a protrusion sized to fit into the notch. The notch has a constant width or a narrowing width starting from an outer surface of the torque transmitting element comprising the notch.

A method for manufacturing an operation rod of a wrench assembly for disassembling a fan clutch, including following steps of: preparing a rod material; fixing the rod material on a forging mold; carrying out a forging process to produce a semi-finished head; carrying out a cutout process, cutting the remainder structure out of the semi-finished head; obtaining a finished product of a head portion, the head portion including two wing plates and a shaft which are integrally formed.

A handle extends about a first axis and includes a bifurcated portion. The bifurcated portion includes a concave face and two screw holes along a second axis. A toothed ring extends about a third axis and includes a convex face in compliance with the concave face and two bores along a fourth axis. The toothed ring is moved into a space in the concave face while keeping the third axis parallel to the second axis. The third axis is overlapped with the second axis and a center of the toothed ring is near or coincides with a middle point of a segment of the second axis in the bifurcated portion. The toothed ring is rotated about the first axis so that the fourth axis is overlapped with the second axis and the bores are aligned with the screw holes. Two screws are inserted in the screw holes and the bores.

A quick-release tool connecting rod is provided, including: a rod body, a quick-release mechanism and a second sleeve member. The rod body includes an inner space extending in an axial direction and a through hole communicated with the inner space. The quick-release mechanism includes a push rod received within the inner space, a locking member disposed within the through hole and a first sleeve member sleeved to the rod body. The first sleeve member is movable relative to the rod body in the axial direction to drive the push rod to move. The second sleeve member is co-movably sleeved to the first sleeve member, and the first sleeve member is partially embedded within an inner peripheral wall of the second sleeve member. The first sleeve member has a first hardness, and the second sleeve member has a second hardness which is smaller than the first hardness.
