Faucet Wrench
Various embodiments of a faucet wrench are provided. The faucet wrench includes a first insert that includes multiple inner jaw surfaces. The multiple inner jaw surfaces are each configured to engage workpieces of different sizes. In specific embodiments, the first insert includes a plurality of stackable components, each with multiple inner jaw surfaces. The plurality of stackable components can be interchanged and/or reoriented by a user to allow the user to select a preferred inner jaw surface to be used for a given task. In further specific embodiments, the first insert includes a pivotable wedge that allows the faucet wrench to be used in different orientations. In specific embodiments, the faucet wrench also has a second insert that includes multiple work surfaces for engaging an additional variety of workpieces.

TOOL AND METHOD FOR APPLYING TORQUE
The invention regards a tool (1) for applying torque to an maneuvered object, such as for example a screw head or nut, including at least a first jaw (4), and at least a second jaw (5) where the first jaw (4) and the second jaw (5) are connected to at least one lever (arm) (2). What is unique with the tool is that at least one of the jaws (4, 5) includes at least one recess (7) with a first contact surface (8) and a second contact surface (9) of which at least one of the contact surfaces (8) and (9) is arch-shaped. A method of using the tool is also disclosed.

MODULAR MULTIPLE-USE TOOL
A modular tool with improved tool interface structures may feature an adjustable wrench body (110) with tool modules (120) which fit within the jaws (114, 116) of the head of the tool. The tool body (110) (120) that serve as tools or as attachment for tool components, like tool bits or sockets. The tool features a ratcheting engagement of the jaws (162, 172) with a quick release (117) and spring bias (176) that allows for easy attachment of the modules.

Parallel jaws locking wrench/plier
An improved parallel-jaws locking wrench/plier with toggle action includes a body element, a fixed jaw, and a moving jaw capable of moving rectilinearly by means of an action cam, which is pivotally connected to a locking lever coupling respectively to the upper ends of a fulcrum bar and a releasing lever thereof. A handle secured to the body element has an axially adjustable element to regulate the opening of the jaws. Close to the pivot of the releasing lever are two outstanding members disposed respectively opposite sides thereof. Gripping the locking lever towards the handle till being stopped by the two outstanding members hitting said handle will toggle continuous gripping/clamping action on a workpiece. Gripping the releasing lever towards the handle will render the two outstanding members to serve as fulcrums, providing the former with leverage to force the toggle linkage back to its relaxing condition to release the workpiece. The releasing action requires only one hand.
Tubular tool
A tubular tool includes a tubular first part and a tubular second part. The tubular first part including a first section having an engaging hole defined in the distal end thereof, and a second section having a connection hole defined in the distal end thereof so as to be respectively connected to a driving tool and an object. The tubular second part is rotatably mounted to the first outer periphery of the first section of the first part. At least one lip extending from the inner periphery of the tubular second part. At least one first circular rib extends outward from the first outer periphery of the first section. The at least one lip is engaged with the at least one first circular rib to restrict the second part from separating from the first prat.

Ratcheting wrench system having a linear two-pawl ratchet mechanism capable of exchangeable wrench heads
Disclosed herein is a ratchetable wrench, with, in some embodiments the ability to interchange wrench heads for working with various styles of rotatable fittings. The disclosed ratchetable wrench includes a two-pawl ratchet mechanism for use with an open-ended wrench head. The two-pawl mechanism allows the wrench head to be freely rotatable relative the wrench body when the pawls are in a user-selected tooth-disengaged position such that the pawls are disengaged from teeth located about the periphery of an installed cogged wrench head and rotatable only in one direction relative the wrench body when the pawls are in a tooth-engaged position. A plurality of interchangeable wrench heads for use with an embodiment of the ratchetable wrench and a method of the interchanging various wrench heads are also disclosed herein.
