A spanner wrench assembly including a base plate having a gripping portion extending from a handle portion and defining an arcuate cavity with a open end. At least one support plate is secured to the gripping portion and substantially matches a configuration of the arcuate cavity. The support plate is of a lesser density material than the base plate. An engagement plate substantially matches the configuration of the arcuate cavity and is secured with respect to the at least one support plate. A cover defines one elongate aperture extending to an open mouth portion formed by an adjacent end of the cover, and another elongate aperture extending to a closed mouth portion dimensioned to accept a connector head which is wider than the elongate apertures.

Methods and systems are provided of providing a valve wheel wrench comprising a jaw assembly at a first end comprising first and second jaws configured to securably engage at least a portion of a valve wheel, wherein the orientation of the first jaw is opposite to the orientation of the second jaw, and a handle at a second end, connected to the first end via a shaft, wherein a portion of the handle is surrounded by a guard configured to shield at least a portion of the hand of a user.

Techniques for lifting hammer union accessories (17) and securing hammer unions (2). A hammer union accessory (17) may be lifted with the accessory lift portion (11) of the working end (5) of a hammer union securement tool (1). An arcuate surface portion (6) may be configured to mate with a complimentary arcuate surface (7) of a hammer union (2), receive a lug (9) through a hammer union lug opening (8), torque a lug (9) with a lug torque member (10), and secure a hammer union (2).

The oil filter removal tool is a hand tool. The oil filter removal tool installs and removes an oil filter from a vehicle engine. The oil filter is further defined with an outer diameter and a plurality of indentations. The oil filter removal tool is a cylindrical structure. The cylindrical structure of the oil filter removal tool contains oil leaks resulting from the removal of an oil filter from the vehicle engine. The cylindrical structure channels the oil leaks into the catch pan normally placed under the vehicle engine during an oil change. The oil filter removal tool comprises a pipe and a plurality of ridges. The plurality of ridges is mounted on the interior of the pipe.

An anti-rotational socket retainer tool for retaining a socket over one of a pair of threaded fasteners (e.g., bolt/nut) in a fixed, non-rotatable position, illustratively, at adjacent hubs/flanges of pipe sections while another tool is used to rotatably attach/detach the other fastener end thereto. The anti-rotational socket retainer includes a central base having top and bottom surfaces, and integrally formed opposing support arms extending laterally from the base between the top and bottom surfaces to define a concave arcuate contact surface having a predetermined radius of curvature greater or equal to the curvature of the pipe section. The distal ends of the lateral arms define an arc not exceeding one-hundred and eighty degrees. A drive member extends from the top surface of the base and at a predetermined distance from the arcuate contact surface to retain a socket selected for placement over the fastener end to be held in position.

A combination sod cutting and sprinkler cap removal tool includes a socket having a cavity and outer surface extending between proximal and distal ends, a cutting means disposed circumferentially about the distal end, an internal gear formed within the cavity, and a removable rotating means insertable into the cavity and configured to rotatably engage and be axially arrested by the internal gear whether the rotating means is inserted through the proximal end or the distal end. Interior gear teeth of the internal gear have both inner and outer engagement surfaces. When inserted through the proximal end, the rotating means engages the outer engagement surfaces to configure the distal end of the tool for cutting sod by rotation of the cutting means. When the rotating means engages the internal gear through the distal end, the proximal end of the tool is configured for removing a sprinkler cap by engaging the inner engagement surfaces with gripping surfaces of the cap.

A union joins male and female subs of two flowline components. The male sub includes a male end of one component, a retainer collar, and a union nut. An annular boss extends around a union face of the male end and provides a rearward-facing shoulder. The retainer collar is carried on the male end and has a forward-facing shoulder and a rearward-facing shoulder. The collar forward-facing shoulder bears on the male end rearward-facing shoulder. The female sub includes a threaded female end of the other component. The nut is carried on the male end around the collar and threads onto the female end. It also has a forward-facing shoulder which bears on the collar rearward-facing shoulder. The nut forward-facing shoulder and the collar rearward-facing shoulder are beveled. Thus, load from the nut is transmitted through the collar axially to the annular boss and radially inward to the male end.

Embodiments provide a fitting for tubing connection, a male fitting assembly, and a torque adaptor. The fitting for tubing connection includes a head including a plurality of first gripping portions, each first gripping portion extending from a top of the head; and a shaft attached to the head, wherein the shaft comprises a plurality of external threads.

A temporary fastening tool has a tool main body, a grip, a transmission mechanism, a socket, a plurality of pins, and two magnets. At least a portion of a side surface of the pin protrudes from an inner surface section of the socket toward a central axis of the socket. The magnets are disposed such that centers of the magnets are disposed outside of an imaginary circle having a radius of a circle that circumscribes an outer circumferential section of a screwing member that includes corner sections. The magnets are disposed at positions that do not overlap the pins when the socket is seen from a side of an opening section.

An oil core wrench includes a oneway control unit, a wrench unit and a rotation handle. The wrench unit includes a threaded rod, an adjusting member, a base member and a clamping member. The oneway control unit is mounted in the base member and includes a control member. Thus, the oil core is clamped between the clamping member of the wrench unit and the control member of the oneway control unit so that the wrench unit can drive the oil core to rotate successively in a oneway manner by operation of the oneway control unit, so as to tighten or loosen the oil core easily and quickly. In addition, the oil core wrench can be operated in a narrow or small working region.
