Patent number: 7007573Abstract: A fastener impact driver device 10 includes a fastener engagement member 12 having a plurality of projections 14 disposed about a lower portion 16 that engages a corresponding peripheral portion 18 of a fastener 20. The device 10 further includes a positioning member 22 having an upper portion 24 that ultimately receives a force thereupon, and a lower portion 26 that engages a cooperating upper portion 28 of the fastener engagement member 12 whereby a force such a hammer strike is imparted upon the upper portion 24 of the positioning member 22 to drive the projections 14 of the fastener engagement member 12 into the head 44 of the fastener 20 without damage of the fastener engagement member 12, whereupon the positioning member 22 is removed from the fastener engagement member 12 and a hand tool is removably secured to the fastener engagement member 12 to impart rotary motion to the member 12 and the fastener 20 thereby removing the fastener 20 from or urging the fastener 20 into a workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2004Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Eazypower CorporationInventors: Ira M. Kozak, Burton Kozak

Patent number: 6435065Abstract: A bit-storing tool handle is provided that includes a surface of the handle defining a channel adapted to retain the bit, and a fulcrum point contained within the channel for rotating the retained bit out of the channel. The bit-storing tool handle may alternatively include a plurality of channels adapted to retain the bits such that the longitudinal axis of the retained bits are co-linear to the longitudinal axis of the handle and a fulcrum point within each of the channels that promotes the manual rotation of each of the bits about a cooperating fulcrum point so that upon such rotation, the bits extend radially from the longitudinal axis of the handle. The channels include an opening dimensioned and configured to allow the finger of a person to insert under a first end of the bit thereby facilitating the removal of the bit from the channel when an excessive amount of force is required to pivot the bit due to cold weather or similar conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Inventors: Burton Kozak, Ira M. Kozak
