An electric torque wrench capable of sensing a manual operating torque includes: an outer housing having an accommodating space at an internal thereof, a motor and a reduction device arranged therein; the reduction device having a reduction gear assembly with a hollow ring gear member; a front end of the ring gear member having at least one extension arm and at least one sensing plane formed thereon; a torque sensing unit arranged on the sensing plane; a driving device installed at the front end of the outer housing and having a working head arranged at the front end thereof; the extension arm of the ring gear member secured and attached onto the driving device. With the torque sensing unit installed on the extension arm, the electric torque wrench can be rotated manually with hand and is able to measure the torque value.

A universal joint is provided, including: a seat, including a receiving room extending in an axial direction and at least one through hole in communication with the receiving room; a connecting member, including a ball head rotatably received within the receiving room; and an assembling mechanism, including at least one blocking member and a sleeve member sleeved around the seat, the at least one blocking member being received within the at least one through hole and blockable with the ball head in the axial direction, the sleeve member covering the at least one through hole; wherein the seat has a first hardness, the sleeve member has a second hardness smaller than the first hardness, an outer circumferential wall of the seat is partially embedded within an inner circumferential wall of the sleeve member.

A tool for gaining lateral access to a well includes a head portion configured to advance axially forwardly relative to a lateral access passage. The tool includes a first shaft and a shaft assembly including a second shaft. The second shaft is at least partly received in the first shaft so as to be axially forwardly moveable therewith. In use, axial forward movement of the first and second shafts causes forward advancement of the head portion. The second shaft is axially forwardly moveable relative to the first shaft. The first shaft includes an internal thread and the shaft assembly includes an external thread engaging the internal thread of the first shaft so that relative rotation of the internal and external threads causes the axial forward movement of the second shaft relative to the first shaft without rotation of the second shaft relative to the first shaft.

The disclosure relates to a screwdriver attachment for screws, which has a first shaft section with a first longitudinal axis, and a second shaft section with a second longitudinal axis. The second shaft section is coupled to the first shaft section via a linking disk. The first shaft section has a free end with which the screws are turned. The first shaft section and second shaft section are connected to one another by a spring element, which aligns the first shaft section in a starting position in which the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are aligned coaxially. Screws can be readily turned with the screwdriver attachment according to the disclosure, even if there is a certain offset between the axes.

A flexible head joint for a tool, such as a motorized ratcheting-type tool. The flexible joint also allows an output mechanism of the tool, such as a ratchet head, to be disposed at an angle with respect to a housing to the tool, which houses a motor. For example, the first shaft is pivotably coupled to a first connector, which may have a tongue shaped portion. The second shaft is pivotably coupled to a second connector, which may have a slotted portion adapted to receive the tongue portion. This provides two pivot points that have parallel axes.

A fixed-angle ratchet adapter that uses gears to change the rotation angle for a ratchet or impact driver. One variation is meant to be used at right angles and another variation is meant to be used at 45 degree angles with either used on its own with a ratchet or impact driver or used in concert with various universal joints currently on the market to improve functionality.

A tool joint is provided, including a main body, a swingable member and a locking structure. The main body has a connecting channel. The swingable member is disposed on the main body. A driving rod is disposed through the swingable member and movable between a first position and a second position. When the driving rod is in the first position, the driving rod is out of the connecting channel, the swingable member is swingable relative to the main body. When the driving rod is in the second position, the driving rod projects within the connecting channel and the swingable member is non-swingable relative to the main body.

Expandable spinal implants, systems and methods are disclosed. An expandable spinal implant may include a first endplate, a second endplate, and a moving mechanism that is operably coupled to the first and second endplates. The moving mechanism may include a wedge, a first sliding frame and a second sliding frame disposed on opposite sides of the wedge, a screw guide housing a rotatable first set screw and a rotatable second set screw opposite the first set screw. The first set screw may be operably coupled to the second sliding frame and the second set screw may be operably coupled to the wedge. The moving mechanism may operably adjust a spacing between the first and second endplates upon simultaneous rotation of the first and second set screws and operably adjust an angle of inclination between the first and second endplates upon translating the first set screw or second set screw.

Various implementations include a surgical screwdriver that comprises a first rotating shaft configured to be rotated about a respective longitudinal axis, a second rotating shaft extending along a respective development axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the first shaft and having a shaped end tip which can be inserted into the head of a screw, and a transmission member interposed between respective first ends of the shafts to transfer the rotation from the first shaft to the second shaft. The transmission member comprises a homokinetic spherical joint.

A hand tool includes a body provided with a mounting portion. The mounting portion includes six first recessed portions, six second recessed portions, and six locking faces. Each of the first recessed portions includes two grooves. Each of the second recessed portions includes two first arcuate faces and a second arcuate face. Each of the locking faces has a planar shape and is arranged between two of the second recessed portions. Each of the first recessed portions is arranged on one of the locking faces. The locking faces define an imaginary hexagonal portion having six sides coinciding with the locking faces respectively. The mounting portion of the body is mounted on a screw member. The screw member has six ribs received in the second recessed portions. Each of the ribs rests on one of the first arcuate faces.
