A hand-tool retractor cover includes a body portion and a handle portion attached to and extending from the body portion. The body portion has a first-side wall, a second-side wall spaced apart from and substantially parallel to the first-side wall, and a perimeter wall extending transversely between and connecting the first-side wall to the second-side wall. The body portion defines a retractor compartment between the first-side wall, the second-side wall, and the perimeter wall. The body portion also defines an entrance into the retractor compartment and a retractor cable opening. The handle portion defines a handle opening and is made of a stretchable and resilient material. The stretchable and resilient material is adapted to increase a weight rating of a hand tool retractor when a hand tool retractor is placed within the hand tool retractor cover.

The disclosure provides conspicuity devices and methods. A first embodiment includes a glove with at least one elongate lighting device adapted and configured to admit light having an advantageous spectral energy distribution. Additional articles of clothing are provided herein for enhanced conspicuity, such as for emergency workers and athletes.

A chest buckle for a harness for carrying a handheld motor-driven work tool, the chest buckle including first and second parts, wherein the first and second part, each includes at least two mechanisms attaching straps of the harness thereto. The first part includes a recess defining a cavity arranged to accommodate the second part therein. The second part includes a resilient locking member arranged to protrude through a hole in the first part when the second part is accommodated in the cavity to lock the first and second parts together.

A buckle, such as for a strap or belt, houses a compact multi tool that is removable from the buckle. The arrangement includes a retention mechanism so the removable multi tool stays secure even with excessive body motion. The buckle can be any type of buckle for a belt or other type of strap. The buckle can couple a belt or strap to itself to create a loop or can couple strap portions to one another. The buckle functionality can be provided by any suitable arrangement, such as a cam lock mechanism, a pin or post-in-hole arrangement or a snap-fit arrangement, for example and without limitation. The multi-tool can include one or more articulating (e.g., foldable) tool elements. In some configurations, the multi-tool comprises a sleeve that receives a body of the multi-tool. The sleeve can include tool features.

An operator system for a machine, in particular for a beverage processing machine, having a mobile operator device for the machine, a signal emitter for reporting alarm and/or warning signals, and a carrying device for the operator device, wherein the operator device has a coupling element for attaching to the machine and/or to the carrying device and a transmitter for transmitting alarm and/or warning signals, wherein the signal emitter has an attachment element for attaching to an article of clothing and/or to a body part of a user and a receiver for the alarm and/or warning signals, and wherein the carrying device has a mounting element for attaching to an article of clothing and/or to a body part of the user and a receptacle for the operator device.

A holster system for hair-cutting shears includes a holder and a wearable portion. The holder includes a pocket that can receive hair-cutting shears and a shears-holding portion. The shears holding portion can hold the hair cutting shears on an exterior surface of the holder. The shears-holding portion may include a magnet

A mountable tool holster is generally disclosed. The mountable tool holster comprises a tool holster and an elongated reinforced backing. The tool holster includes a support arm having a first end spaced apart from a second end. A first leg extends generally perpendicular to the first end and a second leg extends generally perpendicular to the second end. The holster is attached to a front side of the elongated, reinforced backing.

A magnetic harness for holding magnetically attractable metallic work items there against for convenient access is described. The harness includes an elongated pocket that holds a plurality of magnets. The plurality of magnets are attached side by side and one atop the other to increase the strength of the magnetic field or attractability of the magnets. The pocket is easily accessible to the user to allow the user to manually manipulate the strength of the magnetic field by increasing or decreasing the amount of magnets in the pocket. The harness includes a series of elongated pockets across the front of the harness.

A wrench holder for holding and carrying a set of wrenches, each wrench having an elongated handle and an open jaw extending from the handle, comprises a frame having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. There is a spring coiled about the first side of the frame. The spring has coils which receive the handles of the wrenches. The second side of the frame engages the open jaws of the wrenches when the handles of the wrenches are received between the coils of the spring to restrict outward rotation of the wrenches relative to the wrench holder.

A tool bag includes: a main bag body having an upward opening, defining a receiving space, wherein a periphery defining the upward opening is stitched in such a manner to form a space for receiving a flexible edge plate such that the upward opening defines a gap that gradually decreases from a middle portion toward two opposite ends of the middle portion. Two flexible sheets are attached to inner side surfaces of the bag body to define an upper opening proximate to the upward opening and a lower bottom that is distal from the upward opening, that is located within the receiving space and that define a cross section smaller than the upper opening so as to prevent falling of tool from the receiving space.
