  • Floating, non-conductive hand tools
    Patent number: 6202518
    Abstract: A floating, non-conductive hand tool such as pliers or channel locks for use by those working proximate to water or an electrical source. The tools are extremely durable, lightweight, and have an internal cavity capable of holding a gas or a light weight polymer foam material to substantially reduce the overall density of the hand tool. Alternatively, the handle ends of the tool may be encased with a low density sheathing material used either independently or in conjunction with the aforementioned internal cavity to reduce the density of the tool.
    Type: Grant
