Abstract: A handle cap designed for use on a tool handle is disclosed. The handle cap has a cavity which forms an annular rim portion and an inner face. The annular rim portion of the cap is sleeved over an end of the tool handle so that the tool handle protrudes into the cavity and is abutted by the inner face of the cavity. The handle cap includes a tapered, projecting end portion extending outwardly in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tool handle. The end portion has a channel formed therein which extends through the end portion and within which is fixed an elongated, permanent magnet. By using a handle cap which includes a projecting end portion as described, it is possible to use a longer and more powerful magnet than was possible in previous devices.

Abstract: A clip assembly for attaching a member, such as a partition or duct, to a support covered with a layer of a fireproofing material while maintaining the integrity of the fireproofing layer, or attaching wallboard to a beam or column, has a pair of clip sub-assemblies adjustably connectible together to fit different size supports. Each clip sub-assembly is provided with a plate portion defining a planar support engaging surface substantially in the form of the outline of a right triangle and arranged particularly for gripping a flange of an I-beam and the like, while end walls perpendicular to the plate portions facilitate attachment of wallboard to the clip assembly for furring, and the like. Base portions, one of which has a slot and the other a plurality of spaced openings mateable to the slot, are connected to the plate portions and permit the adjustable connection of the clip sub-assemblies to various size supports.
