Abstract: A safety accessory for use with a ladder to slow the speed of an accidental fall of a worker, who works in an elevated position. The accessory has a C-shaped track member and a slide body that moves inside the track member. The worker's harness is secured to the slide body. Contact surfaces of the track member and the slide member are serrated to slow the speed of an accidental fall. A plurality of locking wedge members is positioned in the channel formed by the track member to further decrease the speed of an accidental fall.

Abstract: A hand tool device is provided that stops the user from banging knuckles/hands into other nearby structures. The hand tool, for instance a wrench, includes a knuckle-protecting wrench handle, a wrench jaw, and a throat positioned between and integrated with the knuckle-protecting wrench handle and the wrench jaw. The wrench jaw may be a fixed open-ended jaw, an adjustable jaw, a Stillson type jaw, or a Crescent type jaw. The handle has two spaced-apart handle sections that define an opening therebetween. The user grips one of the handle sections during operation of the hand tool, while positioning one or both hands in the central opening. The second handle section protects the user's hands during use.
