Abstract: A wire stripper has a blade handle, a gripper handle, a blade jaw and a gripper jaw all pivotally connected at a main pivot pin that is offset from the mating faces of the jaws. Movable and floating cutting blades mounted on the blade jaw are self-aligning due to a floating connection of the blades that allows them to move respective gauge surfaces into engagement during closing. A blade hold down spring urges the blades into alignment. The jaws are angled with respect to the handle axis so the throat of the cutting blades aligns with a user's line of sight. Individual handle springs have differential springs rates and are arranged so that the handles springs do no resist opening of the jaws.

Abstract: A grill scraper is provided for scraping the surface of a cooking grill or the like. The scraper includes an elongated frame defining a longitudinal axis which extends between a front head end of the frame and a rear handle end of the frame. A blade head is mounted at the head end of the frame for mounting a scraping blade thereon. A first handle is mounted at the handle end of the frame and extends downwardly therefrom. A second handle is mounted on the frame rearwardly of the head end but remote from the first handle.

Abstract: An adjustable length leash (10) includes a handle portion (11) having a grip (13) and a neck (20) extending from the grip (13) for taking up undesired length in the lead (12). The lead (12) attaches to the neck (20) by being knotted through an aperture (22). A minor flange (32) provided at the top of the neck (20) helps retain the loops of the lead (12) on the neck (20) to achieve a desired lead length. A catch flange (30) is capable of catching the lead (12) at the bottom of the neck (20) such that one who utilizes the leash (10) may adjust the length of the lead (12) by winding the lead (12) around the neck (20) until the desired length extends from catch flange (30). The catch flange (30) includes a lead lock (36) which allows for a more secure fixing of the lead (12) length.
