An apparatus, an adjustable tool with variable diameter aimed at tightening and twisting nuts, bolts or other prismatic objects, with polygonal section or circular section outlines suitable for performing several actions around different kinds of objects, working on such objects through two different ways to move a variable number of teeth, which, while working, close like a diaphragm around the sides of such objects, perfectly adapting to their diameter and their section or capacity.

Fastening systems, fastening system installation apparatus, and methods for fastening are provided. The fastening system installation apparatus comprises a sleeve and an anvil. The sleeve comprises a first sleeve end and a second sleeve end. A sleeve cavity extends into the sleeve from the first sleeve end. The anvil is slidably received by the sleeve cavity. The anvil comprises a first anvil end, a second anvil end, and at least two portions formed by at least two channels extending from the first anvil end. The at least two portions define an anvil cavity configured to receive a fastening collar and inner surfaces of the at least two portions are configured to deform the fastening collar. The sleeve is configured to radially displace the at least two portions inward relative to the longitudinal axis responsive to forcible contact between the first anvil end and the first sleeve end.

An adjustable wrench is shown which includes a handle with a terminal end and a grip end, the terminal end defining a lower bolt claw. A tighten handle is coupled to an adjustment knob-nut. The adjustment knob is-nut is rotationally coupled to a jackscrew with the jackscrew being slidably coupled to the handle and is moveable to control the movement of associated upper and central bolt claws. The upper, central and lower bolt claws are adjustable to different sized bolt heads upon terminal or distal movement of the jackscrew. The central bolt claw fits through a slot in the upper bolt claw, the slot defining an inclined ramp surface, with movement of one claw being coupled to movement of the other claw. The claws move cooperatively in reaction to the stationary, lower bolt claw to form a tightly fitted surface for the bolt head. The jackscrew is manually adjusted during adjustment of the wrench to a bolt. Additionally, the jackscrew is distally biased within a slotted opening of the handle and can be moved forward to forcefully grip a bolt head, using the force multiplying tighten lever.

A clamping device for clamping a fastener, includes a clamping jaw, a first biasing member for biasing the clamping jaw, a clamping body having a central axis, a driving assembly for driving the clamping jaw to clamp the fastener, and a second member which can be driven by the first member to move axially relative to the clamping body so as to push the clamping jaw to clamp the fastener. The clamping body is formed with a notch for receiving the clamping jaw and the driving assembly is supported on the clamping body and includes a first member which can rotate and move axially relative to the clamping body. The installation structures between the clamping body, the driving assembly and the clamping jaw may be designed to be more compact so that the clamping device has a smaller size.

A wrench includes a body having two openings. The body has a chamber in which two operation members are movably located. Each operation member has a first jaw and a second jaw respectively formed on two ends thereof. The first jaws each have a first face protruding out from the first opening. The second jaws each have a second face protruding out from the second opening. Two resilient members are located in the chamber and bias the two operation members to let the two first jaws and the two second jaws are opened wide. The first and second jaws each have slots which are engaged with the lips on each of the openings. The first jaws protruding from the opening form an open wrench, and the second jaws protruding from the other opening form another open wrench.

A screwing tool includes a head, which has a fixed jaw and a movable jaw and which is fastened to a handle so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis against a restoring force from a small distance position of the two jaws into a large distance position of the two jaws. In order to be able to touch live parts by means of a screwing tool of this type, the handle has an insulating casing and an actuating element is provided, which can be displaced relative with respect to the handle and which, during its displacement, displaces the head from the small distance position into the large distance position.
