Abstract: A cutting device includes a jaw with a first jaw member and a second jaw member, a first handle attached to the first jaw member and a second handle rotatably connected to the second jaw member at a second pivot point, a gear including a first set of teeth and a second set of teeth at a first end of the second handle. The second handle is slidably connected to the second jaw member at the second pivot point to allow the second handle and the second set of teeth to move into a disengaged position where the second set of teeth are located at a distance from the first set of teeth. To ensure that the teeth of the gear engage correctly, a slide lock is in an enabling state allowing the second handle and the second set of teeth to slide in a slide direction from the disengaged position to the engaged position only when the first set of teeth and the second set of teeth are aligned into a mutually predetermined position.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a hand tool, comprising a tool member, of a first material, an elongated shaft, of a second material and a connecting member, of a third material comprising plastic. The elongated shaft further comprises a handle portion in a first end and an insert portion in a second end. The hand tool further comprises a sealing ring arranged to surround the insert portion to prevent leakage of the third material during manufacturing. A manufacturing method for such a hand tool is also presented, said method comprising arranging a sealing ring around an insert portion, arranging the insert portion and a tool member in a mold, injecting material comprising plastic in a cavity space so as to form a connecting member and removing the hand tool from the mold.

Abstract: A tool includes a tool head with a utilization surface. The tool also includes a counter device responding to an impact applied to the utilization surface. The counter device has a memory, a microcontroller controlling operation of the counter device, an indicator, and an energizer connected to the microcontroller, which in response to the impact applied to the utilization surface, produces an electric current energizing the counter device to make a modification in the memory and provide information about the cumulative count of impacts in the memory via the indicator to a user.
