  • Publication number: 20180257211
    Abstract: A nail set includes an elongated body having a longitudinal axis, and a tool member at least partially received within the elongated body. The tool member includes a first end portion having a first punch tool, a second end portion having a second punch tool that is different from the first punch tool, a pivot axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a locking member. The locking member engages the elongated body to secure the tool member from rotating relative to the elongated body about the pivot axis. The tool member is movable along the longitudinal axis to disengage the locking member from the elongated body, and the tool member is rotatable about the pivot axis when the locking member disengages the elongated body.

  • Publication number: 20180214959
    Abstract: A pocket hole jig includes base with a base plate and first and second lateral side walls extending along the base plate, and a body disposed between the first and second lateral side walls and slidable along the base in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The body includes a drill bit aperture angled downward toward the base plate. The pocket hole jig also includes a fence movable between a raised position and a lowered position and having a contact surface engageable with an end of the workpiece when the fence is in the lowered position to position the base a predetermined distance from the end of the workpiece. The contact surface is in a first position when the fence is in the raised position and a second position when the fence is in the lowered position. The second position is forward of the first position.

  • Patent number: 9987735
    Abstract: A nail set includes an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and a pivot axis. The nail set also includes a tool member supported by the elongated body at the pivot axis. The tool member includes a first end portion having a first punch tool and a second end portion having a second punch tool that is different than the first punch tool. The tool member is selectively rotatable about the pivot axis. The nail set further includes a locking member supported by the elongated body and is movable between a first position, where the locking member engages the tool member to inhibit rotation of the tool member about the pivot axis, and a second position, where the tool member is rotatable relative to the elongated body about the pivot axis.

  • Publication number: 20170224186
    Abstract: A floor scraper hand tool includes an elongated handle, a concave scraper blade, and a guard. The elongated handle is at least two feet long and defines first and second distal ends. The concave scraper blade is coupled proximate the first distal end and includes first and second scraping edges having different forms. A guard at least partially covers one of the first scraping edge or the second scraping edge. The concave scraper blade is coupleable to the elongated handle in a first position in which the first scraping edge is opposite the second distal end of the elongated handle and in a second position in which the second scraping edge is opposite the second distal end of the elongated handle. The guard at least partially covers the first scraping edge in the second position and at least partially covers the second scraping edge in the first position.

  • Publication number: 20170146002
    Abstract: A portable air compressor including an air tank configured to store compressed air. The portable air compressor further includes a compressor unit coupled to the air tank including compressor components for compressing air, and a housing having a base disposed generally between the compressor components and the air tank. The base has a concave recess extending at least partially around a circumference of the compressor unit. The portable air compressor further includes a power cord for supplying power to the compressor components. The power cord is receiveable around the circumference of the compressor unit in the recess for storage.

  • Publication number: 20080081544
    Abstract: A belt sander includes a mechanism to apply and release tension to the roll of sandpaper used in the sander. A release arm is rigidly connected to an rotational member that is engageable with a support member that is operatively connected to the front roller of the sander. The rotational member is designed such that the rotation of the tension release arm creates longitudinal motion of the front roller to apply and remove tension from the endless roll of sandpaper to allow the user to selectively replace the roll of sandpaper.
