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.

Systems, devices and methods for pipe connectors and associated components are disclosed. Features for no hub clamps, for locking mechanisms on no hub clamps, for tools for no hub clamps, and for gaskets are described. The clamp has a band with a locking mechanism for convenient locking together of the ends of the band about two adjacent pipes. The locking mechanism may include a securement feature such as a tab on one end of the band and a complementary engagement area on the other end. The band may have arcuate gripping projections whereby rotation of a tool head causes linear translation of the two ends of the band. The various locking mechanisms may be tightened and secured using various tools having engagement features complementary to the gripping projections. The gaskets may be hourglass-shaped to facilitate assembly onto pipe ends with longitudinal membrane sections that collapse when a clamp is secured over the gasket.

An apparatus for facilitating rotation of a fitting includes a body having an exterior portion and an interior portion, the exterior portion having an opening configured to allow the body to be placed onto the fitting such that the fitting is received in the interior portion. The body further includes a plurality of engagement surfaces, the plurality of engagement surfaces configured to matingly engage an exterior of the fitting. The body also includes at least two ergonomic tabs that are configured to be gripped by a user to facilitate rotation of the fitting and at least one stop located on the body, the at least one stop configured to inhibit axial movement of the body relative to the fitting when secured thereto. In use, the body may be selectively placed on a fitting to facilitate rotation of the fitting by a user.

A tool, a tool system, and method for applying torque to a hammer union. The tool includes a handle attached to a tool head, and the tool head further includes at least two indentations, the indentations having a curved rearward wall and forming a mouth with a first width and a mid-section with a second width, wherein the mid-section width is greater than the mouth width.

A hydrant tool for performing fire hydrant operations. The hydrant tool includes a wheel shaped base, a selectively extensible leverage bar that extends from a lateral edge of the wheel shaped base. A wrench opening, preferably a Storz wrench opening extends is defined in a lateral edge of the base. A center portion of the base includes a configurable socketed opening for operation of the hydrant valve.

An implant kit has an adapter having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending from the first and to the second end, wherein the first end is configured for removably receiving and engaging an implant and the second end is configured for removably coupling to a driver shaft of an implant driving tool, and an implant preloaded into the first end of the adapter, the implant having an elongated threaded portion; and a blade portion extending from the elongated threaded portion, and having two serrated edges, wherein the blade portion is received in the first end of the adapter and the elongated threaded portion of the implant is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the adapter.

A toilet seat tightening kit is provided that includes a screwdriver, a wrench, and one or more washers. The components of the toilet seat tightening kit can be joined or fitted together to provide a unitary (i.e., single) component for storage. The components can be easily separated for use. The components of the toilet seat tightening kit are used with one or more pairs of a bolt and a nut that are commonly provided with a toilet seat to securely install the toilet seat on a toilet base. In an assembled form, the washers fit over a shaft of the screwdriver, and the shaft of the screwdriver snaps into an interior cavity of the wrench. The interior cavity is sized and shaped to contain the washers and the screwdriver shaft.

A multi-purpose tool may comprise a head portion and a handle. The head portion has a wedge formed at a top end thereof and configured to pry open doorways, and a first notch located at an edge of the wedge is configured to pull a nail out. A snub nose axe formed at a first lateral edge of the head portion is configured to destroy a dry wall or chop a hinge of a door through a crack between the door and its frame. Also, a corner of the top end and the first lateral edge of the head portion is formed in a Chamfered corner, and a row of axe teeth formed on the Chamfered corner are configured to increase a contacted surface area for prying.

A wrench for engaging a faucet wing nut attaching a faucet from an underside of a sink is disclosed. The wrench consists of an elongated member having opposite first and second ends and opposite first and second sides, a pair of first and second tabs projecting from the first end of the elongated member, the pair of tabs configured to engage flanges formed on the faucet nut. The elongated member has a semi-circular concave profile having a central axis, the concave surface configured to receive the hose and position it in coaxial alignment with the semi-circular concave profile of the elongated member, the pair of first and second tabs formed on the first and second sides of the elongated member, the tabs being parallel to the central axis.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed a hand-held wrench device that is advantageously sized and shaped to be used in confined locations (e.g., in the space immediately below a sink or behind a toilet). Particularly, the disclosed wrench device comprises a base portion and a body portion positioned aligned therewith. The body portion includes at least one cavity sized and/or shaped to accommodate at least a portion of the wing extension of a wing nut. In use, once the disclosed device is coupled to a nut, the nut can be tightened or loosened simply by rotating the device by hand about its own axis in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
