Valve Seat Removal Impact Driver Attachment Device
The present invention relates generally to the field of accessories for use with impact drivers that are useful for removing a valve seat from a fitting. The device has a first end, a second end and a central body portion. The first end has a shaft that allows the device to be attached to the chuck of an impact driver or drill. The second end has a head that can be placed within a valve seat. Once inserted into the valve seat, the impact driver or drill can be used to spin the device to remove the valve seat from the surrounding fixture.
Faucet cartridge removal tool and method of operation
A faucet cartridge removal tool includes a cylindrical sleeve having an interior diameter configured such that a pipe holding a faucet cartridge fits within the cylindrical sleeve, a length configured such that a distal end of the cylindrical sleeve contacts a base of the pipe holding the faucet cartridge; a tubular extractor rod that extends through the cylindrical sleeve, the rod having a threaded exterior surface configured to thread through the threaded orifice of the cylindrical sleeve, a threaded interior surface of the rod, and a notch at a distal end, the notch configured to accept a faucet cartridge; a locking bolt that extends through the extractor rod, the bolt having a threaded exterior surface configured to thread through the threaded interior surface of the rod, wherein the threaded exterior surface at a distal end of the rod is configured to thread through a threaded orifice in the faucet cartridge.
