Abstract: An adaptor for a power drill includes an offset drive and means to adjust the rotated position of said offset drive with respect to the chuck of the drill.

Abstract: Vise pliers with duck bill jaws and a brake attached thereto, having utility as a vise pliers tool and/or as a handheld sheet metal brake.

Abstract: A handle for a tool which provides for simultaneously providing a downward force and a rotating force on the work piece. By providing a cap assembly attachable to the end of the tool having a rotatable top which permits the top to remain fixed while the tool is rotated.

Abstract: A cover or housing for marine instruments in which a rectangular opening giving access to the instrument is closed by a curved cover or door which rotates about the axis of the curves between open and closed positions. In its closed position are four edges of the rectangular opening are sealed relative to the cover to protect the instrument from air bourn sea spray or rain.

Abstract: A squeeze type, rotating wrench has a toothed drive gear for receiving selected tool elements. The drive gear is driven in a selected direction by a push arm and reversible pawl upon squeezing of a pair of handles relative to each other. Reversing the direction of rotation is accomplished by pivoting the pawl from one position to another relative to the push arm.

Abstract: A bevel gear driven offset screwdriver arrangement includes a housing which bounds an elongated passage and an opening which communicates with the passage and is centered on an axis that includes an obtuse angle of substantially between 100.degree. and 135.degree., preferably 105.degree., with the axis of the passage. A shaft is rotatably received in the passage and carries at its end close to the opening a first bevel gear which meshes with a second bevel gear that is rotatably received in the opening. The housing is constituted by two separate half-shell sections which are held together by two holding rings that are slid onto semi-tubular regions of such sections and urge the latter together, as well as by screws. The second bevel gear has a central recess of a non-circular cross-sectional configuration, and a compatibly configurated support portion of a bit element is received in this recess and entrained for joint turning with the second gear element.
