A portable carrying apparatus comprises a plurality of segments that mateably couple together to form an elongated carrying apparatus. Each of the plurality of segments may be selectively de-coupled from each other to enable a user to break down the apparatus and stack each segment for storage when not in use. In accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure, the apparatus may have a first end (e.g., a proximal end) and a second end (e.g., a distal end) that are configured to receive/carry one or more cargo loads (e.g., a connected hook, strap, bag handle and the like). A user of the apparatus may selectively attach one or more cargo loads to the first end and/or second end of the apparatus and balance the apparatus on one or both of the user's shoulders to carry/transport the one or more cargo loads more easily to and from a desired destination.

Disclosed embodiments relate to a handle and a knife. In some embodiments, the handle includes: a handle body, a locating portion is provided on the handle body; and a handle clamp, the handle clamp including a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm and a connecting portion, the connecting portion is provided between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the first clamping arm is movably provided on the handle body and enables the handle clamp with a retraction position and an extension position. Some embodiments solve the problems in the prior art that a handle is prone to slide off from a pocket due to a bad fit between the handle and the pocket and the handle is not prone to be hidden in the pocket when the handle is clamped in the pocket.

A retention clip according to this disclosure includes a base with a plurality of instrument engagement elements at a top of the base. A bottom of the base is configured to be secured to another object. The retention clip may have a size that enables it to be secured to and that enables it to secure other instruments to a portable object.

A drop-prevention pouch for a cordless power tool has a battery pack that defines a battery pack perimeter. The drop-prevention pouch includes a pouch floor and a sidewall extending transversely from the pouch floor and having a sidewall rim portion defining a pouch opening. The pouch floor and the pouch sidewall define a chamber sized to receive the battery pack when the battery pack is attached to the cordless power tool. A flexible conduit extends along the sidewall rim portion. A drawstring extends through the flexible conduit and is capable of restricting the pouch opening to be smaller than the battery pack perimeter, thereby preventing the drop-prevention pouch from being removed from the battery pack when the battery pack is attached to the cordless power tool.

A tool attachment system is provided. The tool attachment system includes a tool attachment device and a receiver that cooperate to lock or secure, for example, a bag or pouch. When the tool attachment device is coupled to the receiver, a locking mechanism locks the tool attachment device to the receiver in a locked position. To remove the tool attachment device, a user applies a force to a button to cause the tool attachment device to disengage from the receiver.

An apparatus, system and method has a rope segment defined by a length extending from a first end to a second end positioned opposite to the first end wherein the first end connects to the second end to form a loop. A first plurality of clips is interwoven with the rope segment. Each clip of the first plurality of clips extends from the rope segment at a fixed position along the length of the rope segment. A second plurality of clips interwoven with the rope segment. Each clip of the second plurality of clips extends from the rope segment at a fixed position opposite to the each clip of the first plurality of clips along the length of the rope segment. A socket is attached to each clip of the first plurality of clips and the second plurality of clips.
