A tool is provided in order to facilitate utilization by users in a wide variety of applications. By way of example, a multipurpose tool includes a first handle having a first axle and a second handle having a second axle; a first jaw and a second jaw, defining a stowed position and a deployed position, where in the stowed position the first jaw is received within the second handle and the second jaw is received within the first handle; a third jaw and a fourth jaw, defining a stowed position and a deployed position, where in the stowed position the third jaw is received within the second handle and the fourth jaw is received within the first handle, where the first jaw and fourth jaw are pivotably attached at the second axle, the second jaw and third jaw are pivotably attached at the first axle.

A dual headed tool having a rotatable arm has a shank with a tool head at each end. The shank slides through a rotatable hub positioned at the distal ends of the tools handle. One half of the shank is inserted into a longitudinal bore extending through the handle while the other half of the shank extends outward so that the tool head at its end may be used. The shank may be slid out of the bore within the handle and rotated to alternate which end of the shank is used. The tour may also be configured without the shank extending into the longitudinal bore in the handle, such that the handle extends away from the shank at an angle between 0° and 180°.

An improved parallel-jaws locking wrench/plier with toggle action includes a body element, a fixed jaw, and a moving jaw capable of moving rectilinearly by means of an action cam, which is pivotally connected to a locking lever coupling respectively to the upper ends of a fulcrum bar and a releasing lever thereof. A handle secured to the body element has an axially adjustable element to regulate the opening of the jaws. Close to the pivot of the releasing lever are two outstanding members disposed respectively opposite sides thereof. Gripping the locking lever towards the handle till being stopped by the two outstanding members hitting said handle will toggle continuous gripping/clamping action on a workpiece. Gripping the releasing lever towards the handle will render the two outstanding members to serve as fulcrums, providing the former with leverage to force the toggle linkage back to its relaxing condition to release the workpiece. The releasing action requires only one hand.

A utility tool device including a handle with a tool recess and a lever arm recess; a rotatable lever arm with a magnet that is configured to fit in the lever arm recess; and a rotatable lever hinge attached to the lever arm and configured to attach to a tool; wherein the tool recess is configured to have a tool fit in the tool recess; and wherein the magnet is configured to lock a tool in place when the lever arm is in the lever arm recess.

Multi-tool devices and methods of customizing multi-tool devices in a web-based ordering system are provided. One embodiment of a multi-tool device includes a plurality of compartments, wherein each compartment is configured to house one or more attached tools, one or more removable tools, and/or one or more storage ports. Each compartment includes a moveable portion that is configured to be moveable with respect to the other portions. The multi-tool device further includes at least one pin configured to connect the plurality of compartments together. Each of the moveable portions of the compartments is configured to move between a storage position and a deployed position. When the moveable portions are arranged in their respective storage positions, an outer surface of the multi-tool device has a disk shape, an ellipsoid shape, a truncated ellipsoid shape, a spheroid shape, a truncated spheroid shape, a sphere shape, a truncated sphere shape, an ovoid shape, or a truncated ovoid shape.

A multi-functional tool includes a multi-flanged body and an auxiliary implement attached thereto for assisting a user to install drywall. In use, the tool is attached over the end of a drywall tool and is secured in place. A first end of the tool provides a surface to aid in driving nails, removing obstructions and the like. The opposite second end provides a hex holder to hold a screwdriver bit to aid in recessing any drywall screws that need recessed.
