  • Patent number: 10723003
    Abstract: A modular motorcycle tool kit comprising multiple tool drivers and a plurality of attachable tool components said kit being configured to address most motorcycle repair or service needs. Three drivers include apertures and special step-key shank slots to engage and receive a plurality of tool insert bits and fastener tool heads. The fastener tool heads are coupled to unique step-key shanks which are stronger, more robust, and less expensive to manufacture than comparative fastener tool head shanks. The drivers can be used separately or in conjunction with one another depending on the need of the user. The modular motorcycle tool kit is specifically designed and configured to be an invaluable modular motorcycle tool and at the same time occupy very little space on the motorcycle.

  • Patent number: 9517549
    Abstract: A socket tool set having a plurality of individual sockets with varying diameters and lengths coaxially nested within one another and a key which is slidably engaged with said sockets during storage of the tool set. During use the key operationally engages an individual socket and serves as an extension to said socket.

  • Patent number: 9387574
    Abstract: A socket disc tool having a handle and a socket disc comprising a central aperture to receive a fastener, such as a bolt or nut. The socket disc includes a body and is defined by plurality of members extending from the body and away from the central aperture. The members include a concave notch which operatively engages a handle which is used to apply leverage to the socket disc which in turn produces torque to loosen or tighten a fastener. The handle includes at least one slot that is designed to engage the notched members on the socket disc and thereby providing a means to exert torque on a fastener. The configuration of the socket disc and the handle with respect to a fastener permits continuous engagement with a fastener and same direction turning by a simple back and forth motion of the handle.
