The present invention relates to a tool part comprising a polymer composition. The tool part is suitable to be used in direct contact with water and/or in an environment with relative humidity equal to or higher than 55%. The present invention further relates to a process for the preparation of the tool part. The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the tool part. The present invention further relates to the use of the polymer composition for the preparation of the tool part.

A hand tool includes an elongate, plate shaped steel core having a top face and a bottom face in parallel planes, a drive head portion formed at one end of the steel core and having a drive head cavity formed therein, a tang portion extending from the drive head portion to the other end of the steel core, a ratchet assembly disposed in the drive head cavity, and a first encapsulation layer covering the tang portion and the drive head portion, but not covering at least a portion of the ratchet assembly. The first encapsulation layer may include a fiber reinforced plastic composite material.

Manufacturing steps for manufacturing a hand tool include a step of preparing a base part which has a handle end and a head end; a step of molding: placing the base part in a molding device and coating plastic to the whole base part by way of plastic injection molding to form the base part into a semi-product which has a handle portion and a head portion, an installation hole defined through the head portion; a step of coating: electro-coating a material to outer surface of the plastic of the semi-product, and a step of assembly: assembling a ratchet driving unit in the installation hole by using fixing members so as to obtain a final product.

An additively manufactured component that includes a tool with a region having a plurality of overlying metal layers each derived from a metal powder filament. The region has a predetermined yield point selected based on an operation to be performed with the tool.

A hand tool includes a handle which is a hollow handle with a space defined therein. A connection portion has a slit defined in the first end thereof. The connection portion has two ribs extending inward from an inside of the second end thereof. The handle has a tubular portion extending from one end thereof. A protrusion extends outward from outside of the tubular portion. The tubular portion is inserted into the second end of the connection portion, and the ribs are engaged with the protrusion. A blade has a body and a toothed portion. The toothed portion is inserted into the slit of the connection portion. A cooling material is located in the space of the handle. The connection portion of the handle is connected to the toothed portion of the blade. The cooling material performs as a weight in the handle.

The present invention relates to a hand tool, comprising a tool member, of a first material, an elongated shaft, of a second material and a connecting member, of a third material comprising plastic. The elongated shaft further comprises a handle portion in a first end and an insert portion in a second end. The hand tool further comprises a sealing ring arranged to surround the insert portion to prevent leakage of the third material during manufacturing. A manufacturing method for such a hand tool is also presented, said method comprising arranging a sealing ring around an insert portion, arranging the insert portion and a tool member in a mold, injecting material comprising plastic in a cavity space so as to form a connecting member and removing the hand tool from the mold.

A method for manufacturing a handle includes manufacturing a surface portion for the handle, arranging the surface portion having a uniform thickness in a mould to contact a surface of the mould and to cover cavities which are provided in the surface in a predetermined pattern, pressing those parts of the surface portion that cover the cavities into the cavities with a mass that is introduced into the mould, and removing the handle from the mould once the mass has cured to form a rigid body which is at least partly covered by the surface portion from which protrusions arranged in the predetermined pattern protrude.

A hand tool includes a handle and a connection portion which is connected to the handle. The handle is a hollow handle and has a space defined therein. The connection portion includes a slit. A blade has a body and a toothed portion which is inserted into the slit of the connection portion when the handle and the connection portion are connected to each other by way of blow molding. A cooling material is located in the space of the handle. The temperature of the cooling material is the same as the temperature of the handle and the connection portion during blow molding. The cooling material contacts the inside of the handle to cool down the handle. The cooling material performing as a weight in the handle 2.
