A method of method of equipping a hammer handle with a magnetic, nail-head retainer for starting a nail includes steps such as follows. A tubular sleeve is produced from tube stock. The tubular sleeve extends between spaced open ends and has a hollow core characterized by an inside diameter. An unequipped hammer handle is bored with a bore hole which extends between an open end and closed end. A magnet is inserted in the bore hole. The tubular sleeve is inserted in the bore hole afterwards to trap the magnet in the bore hole.

A tool for assisting in the installation and/or removal of clips. The tool can include a handle and a tool head attached to the handle. The tool head includes a clip abutment portion having at least one surface operable to substantially abut at least a portion of a clip. A magnet in the tool head is configured to retain the clip proximate to the clip abutment portion such that a user can utilize a tool to apply a clip to an article. The tool head can also include a clip extrication element to facilitate removal of installed clips.

A hammer is provided that includes a handle, a head, a striking insert, and a claw. The hammer provides for a head with a keyed hole to couple to a keyed projection on a striking insert. The head also includes a dovetail projection that couples to the dovetail connection of the claw. Each component may comprise a different material. For example, the striking insert and the claw comprise one material, and the handle and the head comprise another material. In some embodiments, a slotted punch with a magnetic retainer creates a bore through the face of the head and the striking insert to support a fastener (e.g., a nail) within the head.

Another aspect of the present disclosure is related to a hammer that has a head with a striking face. The hammer also has a handle that extends generally perpendicularly away from the head. A cover can be detachably connected with the head of the hammer to cover the striking face. The cover also has a body that has a generally planar covering portion and a side wall that extends orthogonally away from the covering portion along a perimeter of the covering portion. The body is attachable with a hammer head in such a manner that the covering surface covers a striking surface of the hammer. The hammer also includes a magnet for magnetically holding fasteners.

A compression strength attachment block has a tension strength attachment loop pivotally attached to the block. The loop hooks around a lever tool adjacent to a working end for enhanced attack angle and increased leverage in fastener extraction, prying, and lifting work. Magnets on a tool attachment face assist in aligning and holding the block to the lever tool. End magnets hold fasteners after extraction or before insertion. Recesses in the block contain or retain other working tools.

The present invention discloses an angle-adjustable crowbar that comprises a crowbar body and a crowbar head. The crowbar head includes a first hinge base and a second hinge base in a spaced manner, and a head of the crowbar body is rotatably mounted between the first hinge base and the second hinge base through an angle adjustment mechanism. The angle adjustment mechanism comprises a limit shaft penetrating through the first hinge base, the crowbar body and the second hinge base, a first tooth portion, a polygonal limit portion and a second tooth portion are sequentially disposed on an outer wall of the limit shaft in an axial direction. The angle-adjustable crowbar overcomes the defects that the limit strength of existing crowbars is weak, the tooth portion is unlikely to be damaged, and the crowbar head cannot be replaced.
