Hand tool with insulation handle
A hand tool with insulation handle. The handle is made of an insulation material and is formed with a hollow portion (11) and an embedding groove (12). The embedding groove (12) is communicated with the hollow portion (11) and located on a front end (101) of the handle. The tool rod (20) includes a shaft (21) having a rear end (211) and a front end (212). The end plug (30) is made of the insulation material and includes a clamping section (31) and an abutting section (32). The rear end (211) of the shaft is positioned in the end plug through snapping the clamping section. The tool rod (20) is replaceablely inserted in the hollow portion (11) of the handle and protrudes from the handle.
Telepole apparatus and related methods
An improved telepole device having attachment means for attaching swimming pool cleaning, and other tools. The improved telepole device preferably includes an inner tube which freely slides within an outer tube, and a locking device to temporarily secure the inner tube in a desired position within the outer tube. A preferred lightweight design may be at least partially hollow along the length of the tube(s), and durability may be provided by inner/reinforcement wall(s) that extend across the hollow portion(s) of one or both of the tubes. On the end of the outer tube through which the inner tube slides/extends is a collar element attached thereto and comprised of a locking device having a detent mechanism for “locking” the inner tube in place within the outer tube. Preferably, the collar's opening and the profile of the inner tube have one or more sides that, due to their relative position with respect to each other, can prevent the inner tube from rotating within the collar. Further, the inner tube preferably has a series of holes along its length which are positioned to receive a pin element of the detent mechanism. Further, the end of the outer tube opposite the collar preferably has attachment holes configured to receive attachable and detachable swimming pool cleaning tools, and an additional set of holes that allow water to drain from the outer tube while a tool is attached.

Wrench assemblies
A wrench assembly includes first and second wrench members, and a switch, having an engagement member and a proximal extremity, mounted to the first wrench member. The switch moves between engaging and disengaging positions of the engagement member. The proximal extremity is undepressed in the engagement member engaging position, and is depressed in the engagement member disengaging position. The switch moves from the engagement member engaging position to the engagement member disengaging position, when the second wrench member is partially installed into the first wrench member. The switch moves from the engagement member disengaging position to the engagement member engaging position releasably engaging the engagement member to the complemental engagement member disabling the second wrench member from being withdrawn from the first wrench member, when the engagement member registers with the complemental engagement member when the second wrench member is installed into the first wrench member.
Pivoting and extending interchangeable hand tool device
The pivoting and extending interchangeable hand tool device disclosed herein may comprise a tool head and a torque arm that pivot relative to one another, a secondary torque arm for extending length and increasing appliable torque, and a “T”-handle for additional support. The pivoting and extending interchangeable hand tool device may further comprise a plurality of tool heads that may be interchanged within the secondary torque arm, and may be provided commercially in a multiple-tool set. The device is designed to overcome the shortcomings in the prior art, which specifically include the ability to work in tight spaces while reducing the loss of torque when pivoting a torque arm, the loss of strength inherent in an extendable torque arm, and the bulkiness of a “T”-handle.
HANDLE CONNECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A process includes placing a nut around a valve cartridge, the valve cartridge comprising a valve stem. The process also includes aligning the valve stem with an engagement crown of a handle. The process also includes pressing the handle towards the nut after placing the nut around the valve cartridge and aligning the valve stem with the engagement crown, such that the valve stem is rotatably coupled to the handle through the engagement crown.

UTILITY CUTTER ASSEMBLIES, COMPONENTS FOR USE IN THE ASSEMBLIES, AND RELATED METHODS OF MANUFACTURING
Utility cutter assemblies, components for use in the assemblies, and related methods of manufacturing are provided. More specifically, utility cutter assemblies, components for use in the assemblies, and related methods of manufacturing that incorporate antimicrobial materials are provided.
Clamp device
An output part is provided to the left end of a clamp arm that is supported by a housing so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. At the left end of the housing, a first hole for spring fitting opens obliquely upward towards the output part. A through hole that links the upper surface and the lower surface of the clamp arm is disposed obliquely upward at a left-leaning part of the clamp arm. A second hole for spring fitting and a female screw hole are formed, in that order, upwards in the through hole. A return spring that is installed through the first hole and the second hole impels the output part upwards. A push bolt that is screwed into the female screw hole rom above compresses the return spring.
Hammer tool
A hammer tool includes a head and a handle tightly coupled to the head. The head defines a through hole and a hole connected to the through hole. The hole extends transversely to the through hole. The through hole is of a first width and the hole is of a width greater than the first width. The handle includes a connecting end inserted through the through hole. The connecting end is extruded after inserting through the through hole to include at least one positioning protrusion protruding into the hole. The connecting end is of a second width at where the at least one positioning protrusion is disposed. The second width is greater than the first width.
