A handle grip for use with a handle. The handle grip has a grip sleeve and a grip attachment mechanism that securely attaches the handle grip to the handle in a manner which allows the handle grip to be easily removed and replaced. In one configuration, the attachment mechanism is a locking clip with two locking members positioned inside of a channel through the grip sleeve. At least one of the locking members has engaging members on an engaging surface thereof. When the handle grip is positioned on the handle, the engaging members engage the gripping elements of a grip engaging pattern on an adjacent engaging surface of the handle. A base member joins the locking members and closes the bottom of the channel. A locking pin can be inserted through the grip sleeve, locking clip and handle to more securely join the handle grip to the handle.

A hand tool may include a head section defining a first grip portion, a handle section and a second grip portion. The head section includes a top jaw and a bottom jaw defining the first grip portion. The handle section includes a top handle and a bottom handle. The top jaw and the bottom handle forming a first unitary piece, and the bottom jaw and the top handle forming a second unitary piece. The first and second unitary pieces are joined at a pivot point. The second grip portion includes a top grip portion provided at the top handle and a bottom grip portion provided at the bottom handle. The top and bottom grip portions substantially face each other. The first grip portion is made of a metallic material and the second grip portion is made of a non-metallic material.

A combined bent handle ratchet wrench includes a main body made of plastic material, and the main body has its topside and its underside respectively covered with a first cover plate and a second cover plate, which are made of rigid materials. Thus, compared with the conventional forged combined ratchet wrench, the combined bent handle ratchet wrench is able to greatly reduce difficulty and cost in production. Further, the main body is provided therein with a positioning seat made of rigid material for carrying a ratchet actuating unit, and the positioning seat has two opposite sides respectively positioned at the first cover plate and the second cove plate and thus, the ratchet actuating unit can bear greater torsion.

A wrench device includes a proximal member including a first recess and a second recess open to the first recess. The second recess has a width smaller than the first recess. The first recess receives a first screw and the second recess receives a second screw smaller in diameter than the first screw. The device also includes a distal member coupled to the proximal member. The distal member includes a first recess, a second recess open to the first recess, and a third recess open to the second. The first recess has a width larger than a diameter of the second recess. The second recess has a diameter larger than the third recess. When the proximal and distal members are coupled, the first and second recesses of the proximal member are in open communication with the first, second and third recesses of the distal member.

A display structure for a wrench includes a handle which includes a mirror surface or a matte surface. At least one display area is formed in the handle and is a recessed area in which at least two embossed areas and at least one blank area are formed. At least one display portion is formed within the at least one display area. The at least one display portion has a colored area formed on the top thereof, so that the at least one display portion has a color that is different from that of the body of the wrench.

Fittings that generally include a unitary body having an outer surface and an inner lumen forming a void within said unitary body. The lumen is configured to receive threads for mating with the threads of a female sub end of a pipe or tube. The outer surface includes at least one aperture for receiving a tool that can be inserted within said aperture so as to rotate the fitting about an axis that extends through the lumen of the unitary body. The at least one apertures provide a safe and convenient way to tighten and loosen the fitting during the process of coupling pipe or tubing.

An RF-tagged tool includes a tool; a first RF tag; and a self-adhesive silicone rubber bonding member covering at least part of the first RF tag so as to immovably affix the first RF tag to the tool. A method for attaching RF tags to tools includes fixing a tool and an RF tag by covering at least part of the RF tag with an uncured self-adhesive silicone rubber sheet; and curing the self-adhesive silicone rubber sheet to form a self-adhesive silicone rubber bonding member.

A hand tool may include a head section defining a first grip portion, a handle section and a second grip portion. The head section includes a top jaw and a bottom jaw defining the first grip portion. The handle section includes a top handle and a bottom handle. The top jaw and the bottom handle forming a first unitary piece, and the bottom jaw and the top handle forming a second unitary piece. The first and second unitary pieces are joined at a pivot point. The second grip portion includes a top grip portion provided at the top handle and a bottom grip portion provided at the bottom handle. The top and bottom grip portions substantially face each other. The first grip portion is made of a metallic material and the second grip portion is made of a non-metallic material.

A pliers includes a first member having a first head and a first handle, and a second member having a second head and a second handle. Each of the handles includes a recessed grip area bounded by a forward lip and a rear lip. The rear lip has a cross-sectional area not greater than a cross-sectional area of a portion of the handle adjacent the rear lip and opposite the grip area. The pliers also includes a first grip positioned on the grip area of the first handle and a second grip positioned on the grip area of the second handle.

A driver tool for insertion and removal of a first part configured for threaded engagement in a corresponding threaded bore in a second part has a driving end portion of polygonal shape with multiple flats configured for engagement in a recess in the first part having a corresponding polygonal shape. Some or all of the flats have a respective grabbing feature or edge designed to grab or grip into the opposing surface of the recess to allow a greater amount of torque to be applied to the first part when the tool is rotated in the unthreading direction than when it is rotated in the opposite threading or insertion direction.
