Abstract: A load supporting dolly is provided with foot portions having underlying and spaced apart rounded heads for engaging and seeking a position of stability on an underlying floor and provided with inclined heel portions supporting rollers to which the weight of said dolly can be transferred by tilting said dolly whereupon the dolly may be rolled by means of the rollers to a different operating station. The dolly includes a rectangular frame having side portions cradling jacking means independently operable alternately to progressively advance the load to a desired position. In one embodiment the dolly is adapted for supporting an automobile door which is to be hinged or unhinged. In another embodiment the dolly is adapted to supporting a bumper which is to be attached or detached from an automobile.

Abstract: A torsion spring adjusting tool comprises a hexagonal shank to one end of which are welded confronting plate portions which project longitudinally outwardly from said one end, the arrangement being such that wrench means engaging said hexagonal shaped shank can apply a twisting source to a portion of torsion spring extending between said confronting plates. The confronting plates have their confronting surfaces configured to provide obliquely exposed cylindrical passageways inclined at a substantial angle one to the other so that the tool is suitable either to right-hand or left-hand operation.

Abstract: A tool for use in the reciprocating manipulation of wire to cut through an adhesive compound supporting a replaceable item such as an automobile windshield comprises a handle portion from which projects a blade having a curved marginal wall having a trough along which the wire to be handled is permitted to extend. The tool is equipped with guide surfaces to facilitate location of the wire into its trough and with lock nut means for anchoring a free end of the wire at a location convenient to the guiding action of said guide surfaces.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for removing an automobile hinge pin by disabling a spring clip and thereafter driving the hinge pin outwardly of the automobile hinge assembly while supporting the hinge assembly against bending forces that would otherwise flex the hinge assembly as the hinge pin is driven outwardly.
