Abstract: A self-contained folding wingnut tool for a variety of wingnut applications including percussion instruments. The tool has a hinged clamshell housing with multi-spaced pairs of upstanding wingnut engagement elements aligned to engage and adjustably turn wingnuts of various dimensions therebetween. Each pair of upstanding wingnut engagements form opposing space contoured frictional engagement surfaces for the registration with respective portions of a wingnut, positioned therebetween. The opposing spaced wingnut engagement pairs extend from wingnut engagement portion of the hinged housing inwardly from its free end, so when opened and extended an oppositely disposed portion handle is formed by the opposite housing portion for leverage and enclosure when closed.

Abstract: The firearm cartridge extraction tool is used to open a jammed slide to extract a cartridge. The firearm cartridge extraction tool comprises a support frame, an arm, and a push rod. The support frame holds the arm above a work surface and provides a padded stop for the grip of the firearm. The arm may slide along a guide track to adjust for the size of the firearm. The arm holds the push rod in a position where it may align with the muzzle of the firearm. The pushrod comprises a main screw with a handle on one end and a swivel mounted male coupler on the other end. As the handle is turned, the main screw may push a socket located on the male coupler over the muzzle while the padded stop prevents movement of the firearm, thus forcing the slide to open.

The hand tool comprises a handle and a rotatable fastening head connected to a first end of the handle, and engaged with a manually driven actuator. The hand tool further comprises a fixed fastening head connected to a second end of the handle, which is configured to apply a configurable fastening torque to the fastener The fixed fastening head is selectively pivotable with respect to the handle about an axis parallel to the center axis of the fixed fastening head.

Abstract: A lockable torque wrench with adjustment indication includes a rod body, a handle, a plurality of rollers having a rolling pillar, a rotation ring, and a pressing member. The rod body is combined into the handle and rotatable to protrude or retract against the handle for adjusting the torque. The rotation ring is disposed on an extension tube of the handle and mounted around the rollers. The rotation ring is switched between a locked and a relax positions. The pressing member has combination portions at two sides of the extension tube, and permanently engages the rolling pillar. In an ascend position, the rolling pillar is pressed toward the rod body by the prestress force supporting the pressing member. When meeting a position limiting groove, the rolling pillar is pressed to lower in the position limiting groove, providing a switch sensation formed for the user.

Abstract: A tool has a working member, a plurality of expansion members, and a handle that is rotatable relative to the working member. The handle has a longitudinally extending chamber in which a portion of the working member having cam surfaces is disposed. The handle also has a plurality of slots in which the plurality of expansion members are disposed. When a torque is applied to the tool, the cam surfaces of the working member cooperate with the plurality of expansion members to cause at least a portion of each of the plurality of expansion members to be moved outwardly from the slots to thereby cause the handle to change from having a first cross-sectional shape to a second cross-sectional shape. At least one spring is interposed between each of the plurality of expansion members and the handle for causing the handle to revert back to the first cross-sectional shape upon a removal of the torque as applied to the tool.

Abstract: A multi-functional wrench having an adjustable construction and including i) a ratchet mechanism that can be disposed at a plurality of different angular positions with respect to a body of the wrench and ii) a plurality of sockets which are useful for many applications and can accept various bits or tools engageable within the socket. The multi-functional wrench has a body that is archial or curved in shape which is a particular benefit when the wrench is used in difficult to reach areas.

Abstract: A tool that includes a wrench body a first drive end, and a ratchet gear disposed in an aperture in the first drive end. A first cavity is formed in the first drive end and in communication with the aperture. First and second pawls are disposed in the first cavity, and the first and second pawls each includes teeth adapted to engage the ratchet gear. A second cavity is formed in the first drive end and is in communication with the first cavity. The second cavity receives a reversing disc adapted to selectively engage the first and second pawls to cause engagement and dis-engagement of the first and second pawls with the ratchet gear. By orienting the pawls to allow the second cavity to have a minimum depth, the head of the wrench can be stiffened, thereby increasing fatigue strength and rigidity of the wrench.

Abstract: Disclosed is a manual tool capable of unfolding only one work accessory. The conventional manual tools may bring hidden risk to safety with more than two work accessories that may be unfolded simultaneously.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a torsion spring winding tool, and in particular to a tool having two bars that are joined with a connector. Each bar can have a shaft with two ends. Two collars are connected to each shaft, generally near the second end of the shafts. The collars separate the bars into three sections, namely a handle, a seat and a lug. A connector is provided and connects the bars together in the seats. The connector can be a spring that is covered with a cover. A user can use the handles to manipulate the bars. The lugs can be inserted into pockets of a spring cone to wind and unwind a torsion spring.

Abstract: An electric socket ratchet wrench includes a body, a driving device rotatably mounted in the body, a pawl device coupled with the driving device, a power device providing a torque, a transmission device between the driving device and the power device, and a clutch device. The driving device includes a driving member having a non-circular hole for coupling with a fastener. The driving member includes an annular toothed portion coupled with the pawl device and an end toothed portion coupled with the transmission device. When a resistance smaller than the torque is encountered while the driving member is driving the fastener, the driving member continuously drives the fastener. When a large resistance larger than the torque is encountered at a position, the body is manually rotatable by a torque larger than the large resistance to forcibly drive the fastener through the position via the driving member.

Abstract: A tool for seating a tubeless tire on a rim using pressurized gas includes a cylindrical pressure tank with a nozzle affixed to it, and a rapid opening gas valve. The nozzle includes a jet configured to receive pressurized gas from the cylindrical pressure vessel into a chamber of the nozzle. As the stream of gas enters the chamber, the Venturi effect causes air to enter the chamber through air intake ports and the stream of gas and air from the air intake ports is blown out of the outlet of the nozzle. The tire is seated on the rim by positioning the system so that the air from the nozzle rapidly blows into the tire between the bead of the tire and the rim upon the valve being opened.
