Disclosed are various embodiments for an applicator configured to receive a stick. In one embodiment, the applicator includes a pad and an adapter. The adapter includes a top side and a bottom side, where the adapter retains the pad on the bottom side. The adapter also includes a retaining cage on the top side. The retaining cage includes a first end and a second end, where the retaining cage extends from the adapter at the first end. The retaining cage comprises an opening at the second end for receiving a stick.

Provided is a tool that includes a handle assembly including a top portion and a bottom portion. The tool also includes a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge. The tool additionally includes a blade having first and second ends, an indent in a bottom surface of the blade near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade.

A tool is provided that includes unitary plate that includes a blade portion and a tang portion. The blade portion can include an edge. The tang portion can include a positioning hole, a first hole, a slot, a second hole, a rivet hole, and one or more teeth (also referred to as one or more barbs) on a side of the tang portion. The tool can further include a hilt member which includes a through passage, a tab, and a notch. The tool includes an overlay on a body to create a handle for gripping the tool. The tool further includes a hammerhead cap on an end of the body, the hammerhead cap is coupled to the handle with a rivet through the rivet hole.

A hammer is provided that includes a handle, a head, a striking insert, and a claw. The hammer provides for a head with a keyed hole to couple to a keyed projection on a striking insert. The head also includes a dovetail projection that couples to the dovetail connection of the claw. Each component may comprise a different material. For example, the striking insert and the claw comprise one material, and the handle and the head comprise another material. In some embodiments, a slotted punch with a magnetic retainer creates a bore through the face of the head and the striking insert to support a fastener (e.g., a nail) within the head.

Provided is a grip for an edged tool in which the operation of fitting split grip bodies can be performed only in a prescribed procedure, thereby reducing variations in fitting, and in which the hand movement when fitting the split grip bodies is in a highly safe direction. A handgrip portion 120 has essential positioning fitting protrusions 123 at the front, split grip bodies 210, 220 have essential positioning fitting recesses 213, 223 at the front, and fitting the essential positioning fitting recesses 213, 223 to the essential positioning fitting protrusions 123 achieves positioning between fitting protrusions and recesses 211, 212, 221, 222 of the split grip bodies and fitting protrusions and recesses 121, 122 of the handgrip portion, while in the case where the fitting protrusions and recesses 211, 212, 221, 222 are first fitted to the fitting protrusions and recesses 121, 122, the fitting between the essential positioning fitting recesses 213, 223 and the essential positioning fitting protrusions 123 is rendered impossible.
