T handle torque wrench with slip function
Wrenches, apparatus, devices and methods of using a T handles with a torque wrench with adjustable torque setting controls having an automated slip function for applications such as for motorcycles, automotive, machinery and the like. The wrench allows for a user to pull up a lock feature which allows the user to selectively set a torque value by rotating the handle. Once a torque setting is made, the lock is pushed down and the wrench can be used to tighten fasteners, such as bolts, nuts, and the like. While tightening, the fastener, the wrench goes into a slip function when the setting has been reached, so that the fasteners, cannot be stripped.
OIL FILTER REMOVAL TOOL AND METHOD OF USE
An oil filter removal tool with a cavity for receiving the oil filter, a tapered base portion with reverse (e.g. left handed) threads for gripping the base of the oil filter, and a lip for capturing spilled oil. A wrench connection below the base portion of the tool fits a typical socket wrench head to allow for easy removal of the oil filter using a common tool. The reverse threads grip the base of the oil filter when being turned to the left, and as they tighten onto the filter, they grip tighter and tighter and then begin to loosen the filter. As the filter comes loose, any spilt oil will be captured within the cavity of the removal tool.
Oil Change Funnel with Oil-Tight Rotating Member
An oil draining apparatus comprises a funnel with two apertures. A first aperture comprises a compression fitting for creating an oil-tight seal around a socket wrench or socket wrench extension,but still allowing for rotation of the socket wrench or socket wrench extension in the first aperture and compression fitting. The compression fitting may be a non-metallic strain relief cord connector. The second aperture may comprise a spout for draining oil, or tubing for draining oil, or an adapter for tubing for draining oil. A method for draining oil comprises inserting a socket wrench extension through the compression fitting and rotating the socket wrench to loosen an oil plug on a vehicle, thereby discharging the oil. The funnel may comprise additional apertures with universal adapters.
Nuffle
Hand Tool that combines a funnel and a socket-wrench extension into one device. The Nuffle makes engine oil changes easier by integrating both the device used to remove oil-pan drain plugs and the device used to direct the flow of fluids draining from the engine. The Nuffle eliminates the numerous hazards of using a separate funnel and socket-wrench to perform engine oil changes in both home and commercial settings.
Fluid filter removal device and method of use
A fluid filter removal device includes a fluid catch configured to circumscribe an outer surface of a fluid filter, a filter spacer configured to maintain a minimum separation between the outer surface of the fluid filter and an inner surface of the fluid catch when at least a portion of the fluid filter is circumscribed by the fluid catch, and a fluid filter sheath, fixed and hydraulically sealed to the fluid catch proximate the filter exit end of the fluid catch. The fluid filter removal device provides a device and method for removal of oil or fuel filters, and to contain contaminated fluids, on automotive, heavy and other types of equipment to eliminate contamination to the environment as well as contamination to vehicles and users changing a fluid filter.
Reduced Drip Filter Removal Tool
This invention is directed to a filter removal tool comprising: a cup configured to engage with a filter so that rotating the cup rotates the filter; a shaft having a bore and extending through the cup at a proximal end of the cup; a puncture cap removably attached to the shaft and configured to be received in the cup and to puncture the filter when the shaft transitions from a first position to a second position; a lateral puncture cap opening defined in the puncture cap in fluid communication with the bore; and, a removal tool portion carried by the cup configured to receive a tool for rotating the cup.
Oil filter remover
An oil filter remover includes a main body, a toothed element, three claw elements, and an elastic element. The main body has three first pivot portions and a first connecting portion between two adjacent first pivot portions. The toothed element is arranged at the center of the main body and is formed with an annular toothed portion. Each claw element has a bent clamping portion and a second pivot portion. The second pivot portions are pivotally connected to the first pivot portions respectively. Each claw element has a toothed portion to be engaged with the annular toothed portion respectively. One of the claw elements has a second connecting portion between the clamping portion and the second pivot portion. The elastic element is connected to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion therebetween so that the claw elements tend to pivot toward the main body.
Oil Filter Removal Tool
An oil filter removal tool used for removing seized filters from internal combustion engines. Additionally, the oil filer removal tool is designed to provide various method of applying a torque to an oil filter. To achieve this the tool has a gripper mechanism, a tool engagement mechanism, an annular clamp, and a plurality of protective covers. The gripper mechanism is able to grasp onto the oil filter. Additionally, the tool engagement mechanism is permanently integrated onto the gripper mechanism. This enables the user to apply a higher torque to the oil filter housing, thus removing even seized filters without damaging the oil filter itself. Similarly, the plurality of protective covers is positioned between the gripper mechanism and the oil filter to provide an additional layer of protection, if the user chooses to install the oil filter removal tool onto the new filter for the next oil change.
Tool to remove damaged bolt heads
A tool to remove square head drain plugs of the type found in diesel semi-truck rear differentials. The tool consists of two circular portions that are joined together. The first circular portion having a void to insert a square head drain plug and the second circular portion having a void to insert a inch ratchet drive. The tool is used by first inserting the square head drain plug into the first circular portion and, if needed, a hammer may be used to force the tool onto the square head drain plug. Then a ratchet wrench is inserted into the void in the second circular portion so that the ratchet wrench may be utilized to rotate the tool. The tool is made from high strength metal so as to overcome resistance presented by rounded edges that may be exist on drain plugs.
Oil filter tool
An oil filter tool used to remove filters and mitigate spillage of oil during and after removal. Sidewalls with grooves between form a substantial cylinder. Curved walls form the grooves, extend outwardly from the sidewalls, and provide some flexibility in the tool's diameter, thereby permitting use with filters other than those for which the tool was designed. A floor is joined by the sidewalls and curved walls to define a chamber in which the filter is mounted. A finger limits insertion of the filter to define a gap into which oil can flow. A funneling guide is angled at the end of the sidewalls opposite the floor to guide oil into the chamber. At least one of the grooves is closed at the guide end and there is an aperture to permit air flow out of the chamber.
