Abstract: The present invention involves a multi-function hand-held tool having a handle portion, an extension portion, and an attachment portion. The handle portion includes a spring-loaded trigger. The extension portion includes an elongated flexible shaft enclosing a control rod that is attached to a triangular block. The attachment portion includes a fixed attachment member and a rotatable attachment member, each preferably having two protrusions located on one end for securely receiving various removable attachments, such as spark plug boot removal members, cutting members, and plier members. The elongated flexible shaft allows the positioning of the handle portion away from the attachment portion and potential harmful objects to help minimize injury to the user when exerting a force on the handle portion.

Abstract: The present invention involves a spark plug boot removal tool having a handle portion, an extension portion, and a grasping portion. The handle portion includes a spring-loaded trigger. The grasping portion includes a fixed grasping member and a rotatable grasping member. The extension portion includes an elongated flexible shaft enclosing a control rod that is attached to a triangular block. When the grasping portion is positioned over a spark plug boot, the trigger is compressed, causing the control rod to pull the block, causing the rotatable grasping member to join with the fixed grasping member to clamp around the spark plug boot. Both grasping members have an angular bend that allows the user to position the elongated flexible shaft outside of the engine compartment when exerting a force on the handle portion to remove the spark plug boot, thus minimizing the risk of injury.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a locking stove control knob shield and safety apparatus which provides a combination of easy attachment with complete “childproof” protection usable on a variety of types and brands of stoves without damage to the stove through attachment and removal.

Abstract: A transparent pipe trap with means of enhancing the biodegradation of sink effluents in a household sink uses a screen located “downstream” from the trap to deflect valuable items into the trap. The trap is easily drained and easily removed, for convenient retrieval of valuable items, such as rings, which are lost down a sink or other drain. The invention also promotes the biodegradation of sink effluents through time-release biodegradation substances in the cup and/or coated upon the screen.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a movable rack to which bicycles can be easily attached and raised up, off the floor, for storage or display purposes. Since movement of the rack lever is accomplished by a hand crank, battery power, or electricity, a child or small adult can use the invention to store or retrieve his/her bicycle.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a debris collection device in which the debris collection device not only contains the debris to avoid injury to the tool user through debris falling into the user's eye, flying debris causing physical injury to the user's body, or particles causing lung injury through being inhaled by the user, but also retains the debris for easy recycling or disposal. The collection portion of this invention is adjustable with respect to its distance from the tool, allowing it to be used to effectively contain debris under a wide variety of conditions.
