Abstract: An implement-storing tool-handle and a sliding cover for the tool handle where the implement-storing tool-handle heel includes one or more first apertures in the cover allows extension of a telescopic implement such as a pick-up magnetic wand stored in the handle heel when the cover is in any of one or more first pre-determined positions. The sliding cover for the implement-storing tool-handle heel may further include one or more second apertures in the cover conformed to allow retrieval of a bit stored in the handle only when the cover is in any of one or more second pre-determined positions, where the second predetermined positions coincide with one or more of the first predetermined positions.

Abstract: A bit for removing a broken fastener comprises a tip from which extend two or more notches separated by traction or biting surfaces formed from two-sided frusto-conically-shaped regions. The surfaces are bounded on one side by a nonlinear cutting edge and on the other side by a non-cutting edge and are configured to cut into the fastener when the bit is rotated in a direction opposite to the fastener's direction of engagement. Specific embodiments include configurations where the cutting edges extend at different angles with respect to the bit axis, where the biting surfaces comprise a plurality of serrations, and where the cutting edges are separated by flutes which spiral along a longitudinally extending periphery of the bit.

Abstract: A tool bit having a first end, a second end including an engagement portion for engaging a tool, a shank extending longitudinally between the tip and the engagement portion, and a spring, the spring being fixed to the shank in a manner such that the spring remains in a substantially static position while the tool bit is in use.

Abstract: A bit for removing a broken security fastener having an elongated shaft with a longitudinal axis. The shaft has a first end and a second end. The first end terminates in a tip region having a recess for receipt of the post of the security fastener, the recess being disposed substantially along the longitudinal axis. The second end of the shaft is configured to be received by the chuck of a tool which provides rotational torque.

Abstract: An abrading device features a flexible abrading membrane supported by two supports. The device may be used in either linear or rotary configurations. The device can be used in conjunction with devices that impart continuous or vibratory linear or rotary motion.

Abstract: An extension shaft for holding a tool for rotary motion of the tool includes a first end adapted to cooperate with a chuck of a handheld instrument and a second end including a tool holder for holding the tool for rotary driven motion thereof. The tool holder includes a base portion operatively connected to the extension shaft and a swivel portion capable of holding the tool. The swivel portion is pivotly coupled to the base portion through a pivot assembly, wherein the tool is capable of being rotated about an angle with respect to an axis of the chuck through rotation of the extension shaft in response to rotation of the chuck.

Abstract: A tool for removing conventional one way fasteners that includes, generally, a member, a collar, and, a shaft that can be removably received by the collar, wherein in the shaft is configured to engage regions of the fastener head. The collar is adjustable to fit fastener heads of different sizes. The member can be configured to correspond to a threaded portion of the outer surface of the collar. The collar may also have a bottom portion that includes multiple splines.

Abstract: A hole saw cup member includes a tubular saw cup member having a closed end arranged to be coupled to a rotary power source and an open end arranged to detachably secure an annular cutting ring member. The invention may include at least one saw cup extension member positioned between the saw cup member and the annular cutting ring member to lengthen the saw cup member to facilitate cutting of substrates having variable thickness.
