Abstract: A foldable shovel having a plurality of elements telescopically mounted together. The elements include a blade, a hand grip and an intermediate section with the intermediate section telescopically mounted to the blade and the hand grip. Openings in the blade, section and hand grip and a locking clip for locking the intermediate section to the blade and to the hand grip. The locking clip is a resilient clip having a button removably extending into the openings in order to hold the intermediate section to the blade and to the hand grip.

Abstract: A multi hand tool comprising a first jaw and a second jaw. The first and second jaws having convex outer surfaces. The first and second handles comprising a pair of spaced upstanding side walls and a base connecting the side wall together. The unattached edges of the side walls are in alignment and coextensive with each other. The rear ends of the jaws are attached to the handles. The second hollow handle is pivotally mounted to the second jaw. Locking mechanism includes a linkage connecting the second hollow handle with the first hollow handle and a slidable block pivotally connected to one end of the linkage with control mechanism adjacent the slidable block.

Abstract: A ratchet driver having a ratchet control assembly and a driver assembly rotatable relative to the ratchet control assembly. A ratchet sleeve operatively connected to the driver assembly and having inwardly facing first and second control openings. The ratchet control assembly having first and second slots, having first and second stop slides, respectively, mounted therein. Moving mechanism to move the stop slides within the first and second control openings, respectively, stop slide control mechanism movable to a position to move said first stop slide out of the first control opening and allow the second stop slide to be in the second control opening and to move stop slide control means to a position to move the second stop slide out of the second control opening and allow the first stop slide to be in the first control opening, and to move the stop slide control means to a position to allow the first and second stop slides to be in the first and second control openings.

Abstract: A foldable tool having a pair of jaws pivoted to each other on a pivot pin, each jaw having a head and a shank, a spring mounted between the shanks of the jaws, a hollow handle pivotally mounted at one end to each of the shanks and foldable relative to the jaws.

Abstract: A foldable multi-tool having a pair of jaws pivotally mounted to each other with each jaw having a head and a shank. A handle is pivotally mounted at one end to each of the shanks and foldable relative to the jaws along a first pivot pin. The handle has a hollow area comprising side walls, a bottom wall and an open top. The interior of the hollow area has a space to receive the jaws when the handles are folded relative to the jaws. The hollow area has a seat on which the jaws are seated when the jaws are in their folded position. The jaws have outer surfaces and the seats have an area which is contoured in a manner similar to the contour of the outer surfaces of the jaws.

Abstract: A vial having an outer wall which is straight and cylindrical and a curved inner cavity. The inner cavity is curved in a substantially uniform arc. The apex of the curved cavity is closer to the cylindrical outer wall of the vial than the ends of the inner cavity. The inner cavity is substantially uniform in cross section throughout its length.

Abstract: A hand tool having a pair of jaw assemblies pivotally mounted to each other and movable from a closed to an open position. Each jaw assembly comprising a head portion and a tail extending from the head portion. A hang space formed between said jaw assemblies.

Abstract: An oil filter wrench comprising a gripping strap having an inner and outer surface, a handle for tightening the gripping strap. Gripping fingers extending inwardly from the gripping strap, each gripping finger being round and symmetrical and having a smooth convex gripping inner surface and a smooth concave outer surface. The fingers are provided on the strap in spaced relationship to each other in clusters of nine at spaced intervals around the strap, arranged in parallel rows of three each.

Abstract: A utility knife having a casing with lock notches therein. A blade moving mechanism slidably mounted with its casing. The blade moving mechanism having blade holding finger adapted to receive a blade. The blade moving mechanism has a strap with a lock mechanism extending therefrom. The lock mechanism is adapted to cooperate with the lock notches in the casing to hold the blade moving mechanism in a predetermined position with the casing.
