Abstract: An adjustable wrench has a fixed jaw at its head. A movable jaw is adapted on a slide glidably accommodated in the wrench head, the slide being positionable in optional positions by means of an adjusting screw or other device. The slide has a web in the form of a substantially planar plate running in a slot in the wrench head. A slide rod is in engagement with grooves in the side walls of the slot. The web has an elongate opening and the slide rod constitutes a separate rod, which is inserted in the elongate opening such that it has lateral play.

Abstract: A grip sleeve (1) from plastics or the like material, for a handle of a pliers or nippers of the kind which has at least one leaf spring (3) between both its handles for opening the pliers. To localize and retain the spring, the sleeve is formed with an elongate slot (4) on its side facing towards the opposite handle, the slot being open towards the opposite handle and is T-shaped, seen in cross section through the sleeve. At one end, the slot has its cross section, which is suited to the cross-sectional dimensions of the spring, freely exposed for inserting the spring in the crossbar (5) of the T. The stem (6) of the T forms the opening of the slot and the spring is thereby kept in place by flanges (7) on either side of this opening, formed by the T configuration.
