Abstract: A display rack that permits a vendor of goods to display goods for sale in an advantageous way, that permits maximizing the number of items that can be displayed in a fixed linear space.

Abstract: A cable saw system is described comprising a cable saw blade, a forward handle removably connected to a forward end of the blade, a rearward handle removably connected to a rearward end of the blade. A motor mounted in the rearward handle. A forward block is configured to removably receive the forward handle, and a rearward block spaced apart from the forward block and configured to removably receive the rearward handle. A threaded dowel connects the forward block to the rearward block, the threaded dowel being configured to be rotatable to adjust the spacing between the forward block and the rearward block and thereby to adjust tension in the blade.

Abstract: A compact tape measure is described that includes novel and useful features that allow a spring retractable tape measure to occupy a compact space. Specifically, the tape measure of the invention configures at least one flat coil return spring to be located alongside, and not in the same plane as, a flat coiled tape measure blade, thereby permitting a reduction in the dimension of the tape measure taken along a diameter of the coiled tape blade, and at the same time expanding the width of the tape measure to provide a tape measure with more compact characteristics than tape measures that are elongate and narrow.

Abstract: A novel hydraulic jack kit is disclosed comprising a specialized jack configured to be compatible with selectively interchangeable components. The specialized jack on its own is configured to lift vehicles such as motorbikes and snowmobiles completely off the floor, so that the only support is the jack itself. The specialized jack is also configured to receive a platform component that converts the jack into one suitable for lifting automobiles with a large wheel base that will have two wheels remaining on the floor when lifted. It is further configured to receive a platform component that converts the jack into one suitable for lifting a vehicle with a short wheel base, where the elevated vehicle adopts a large angle of elevation. In all configurations, a novel stabilizing structure is provided.

Abstract: A dual locking system for a tool including a first actuator and a second actuator each of which are required to be actuated to unlock the tool. The system includes spring biased locking members individually and operatively associated with a button assembly.

Abstract: An air compressor assembly including a rotatable handle that provides protection and structure for transporting the apparatus. The apparatus further includes a plurality of air tanks each of which are configured to be removable and replaced when necessary.

Abstract: A cutting tool includes a first and second pivoted levers for opening and closing and a pair workpiece engagement members having one or more cutting edges. One of the workpiece engagement members is pivotably attached to the fist and second members, while the other workpiece engagement member is fixedly attached to the second lever. The levers connected together by a linkage having one end fixed in position the first lever and having another end slideably attached to the second lever by of a slide element. An adjustment device is connected to the side element and to a rotatable handle on the first handle. The adjustment device moves and holds the slide element in a plurality of positions which correspond to different cutting ratios. An associated method of use is also disclosed in which the rotatable handle is used to adjust the cutting ratio while the tool is engaged with a workpiece.

Abstract: An inverter assembly including a storage compartment for multiple cables adapted to be releasably connected to the inverter. A body of the inverter assembly includes interior and exterior fins for the dissipation of heat energy.

Abstract: A portable tool case is disclosed that may be displayed in numerous orientations using a cover member of the tool case as a support. The cover member that may be rotated into a support position to support the tool case on a surface. The cover member may comprise a pair of covers that are manipulated into an easel, display or table orientation.
