  • Publication number: 20060086212
    Abstract: An adjustable wrench including a handle and a fixed jaw and a movable jaw disposed at one end of the handle. Two opposite sides of the two jaws respectively have a clamping face. At least two types of tooth regions are formed on the clamping face of at least one of the jaws. The tooth regions include a fine-tooth region composed of multiple fine teeth near inner end of the jaw and a coarse-tooth region composed of multiple coarse teeth near outer end of the jaw. When wrenching a small-size worn nut, the fine teeth of the fine-tooth regions of the jaws serve to clamp the nut. When wrenching a large-size worn nut, the coarse teeth of the coarse-tooth regions of the jaws serve to engage the nut.

  • Publication number: 20060000316
    Abstract: An engaging device of a sleeve-form wrench comprises a spanner body and a sleeve. On an outer peripheral surface of the coupling shaft, a plurality of convex buckling portions and concave surface portions are arranged along an axial periphery of the coupling shaft; the convex buckling portions and concave surface portions have cambered shapes and are connected one by one; an inner wall of the sleeve is formed with concave arc portions with respect to the convex buckling portions and convex arc portions with respect to the concave surface portion so that the coupling shaft are inserted thereinto. By above structure the spanner body and the sleeve are combined tightly; moreover, the sleeve suffers a larger twisting force from the spanner body and the stress distributes uniformly.

  • Publication number: 20060000318
    Abstract: An anti-rolling socket. One end of the socket is formed with a fitting hole for fitting on a threaded member. An annular rib with a certain angle of arch is formed on a circumference of the socket to form a maximum outer diameter of the socket. In the case that the annular rib has a 360-degree arch, when the socket is placed on a plane, the annular rib and one end of the socket contact with the plane. When the socket rolls, the socket rolls about a circle. In the case that the annular rib has an arch that the angle of which is less than 360 degrees, when the socket rolls, the socket can only roll within a range less than one circle.
