Adjustable box wrench
The invention comprises an adjustable box wrench that can provide a more accurate grasp and/or sufficient grip/contact with the faces of the head of a bolt, nut, and/or similarly related objects. The invention comprises a series of pins and links which form a loop within a hollow body and are folded onto each other to form a tight gripping surface at the wrench's box ends. The invention may also contain slide-switches and/or scroll knobs to help actuate link closure or guide links within the chamber of the body until the desired set of links is within a box end.

Expandable cable connector torque adapter
Torque adapter for a cable connector that expands to fit connector nuts of different sizes. The adapter fits around the cable connector and engages three of the corners of a hex nut with matching recessed regions in its inner surface. It has three slots that receive the other three corners of the connector nut. The adapter is flexible so that the slots may widen to accommodate connector nuts of larger widths. The outer surface may be hexagonal so that a wrench or similar tool may be used to turn the torque adapter.
Oil filter wrench
An oil filter wrench includes a handle, a rotation knob, a wrench unit, and a oneway control member. The wrench unit includes a threaded rod, an adjusting member, a restriction piece, a clamping member, two screw members, a support member, and a fixed member. The oneway control member is pivotally mounted in the fixed member. Thus, the clamping member and the oneway control member clamp and drive the oil filter to rotate in a oneway manner only.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING A SAFETY STRAP
An apparatus for positioning a strap around an object includes a handle for being grasped by a user of the apparatus. The apparatus further includes an arm portion having a first end coupled to the handle portion and an opposite second end having a coupling mechanism coupled at or nearby for selectively coupling a portion of the strap to the second end of the arm portion. When the handle portion is grasped by the user of the apparatus adjacent a side of the object the arm portion is sized and configured to be movable among: a first positioning wherein the arm portion extends outward from the handle and the user such that the second end of the arm portion extends a distance beyond a far side of the object, and a second positioning wherein the arm portion wraps at least partially around the object.
Diamond bodies and tools for gripping drill rods
Infiltrated diamond bodies for use in gripping drill rods and other tubulars. One example of such an infiltrated diamond body is a cast diamond roller having a plurality of pads that are separated by channels. Another example of such an infiltrated diamond body is a cast wrench jaw having at least one raised jaw pad.
