Abstract: A tool adapted to be coupled to a power drill includes a multi-component bit mounted to reverse positions so that in one position its drill element drills a hole and in another position its driver element drives in a fastener.

Abstract: A tape measure device has an elongated blade with a central concave-convex segment with at least one planar segment adjoining edgewise the central concave-convex segment to form a junction that extends substantially along the entire length of the elongated blade. During formation of the blade the junction is annealed to avoid formation of a flaw or incipient fracture along the junction.

Abstract: Pliers having, for example, needle-nose and blunt-nose heads are manipulated using handles connected to pivot and move between a needle-nose head, grip-ready, position and a blunt-nose head, grip-ready, position. Each handle has a stop member having two faces. One face of each stop member is adapted to abut a needle-nose head and the other face is adapted to abut a blunt-nose head.

Abstract: A method and device is disclosed for displaying a plurality of tools on a point-of-sale display. The device may comprises a pair of support members, each retaining a tool such that one tool partially obscures the other while allowing a customer to properly identify each tool.

Abstract: A tool employs a connect-disconnect coupling for a power drill to hold a multi-functional bit having at its one end a drill element adapted to form a hole and a countersink and at its other end a driver element to drive a screw or other type of fastener.

Abstract: A foldable creeper has a rolling mechanism coupled to connectors that couple a seat support and back support. A locking mechanism may be provided that retains the creeper in an open position.

Abstract: A creeper adapted to store tools in a compartment.

Abstract: A creeper is disclosed that is adapted to store tools in a compartment.

Abstract: A compact ratcheting driver has a handle portion and a an extendible ratcheting head portion. The head portion has a pair of parallel guide rails which are coplanar with and extend into the handle to engage a pair of complementary guide shoulders formed within the handle. The head portion includes ratcheting means connected to a driver element for engaging and driving an element to be driven and detent means for selectively locking the head portion in either an extended disposition or a retracted disposition. In one embodiment, the handle portion includes a fixed drive socket. In a second embodiment, the handle includes selectively manually actuated lighting means to illuminate a work area in which the ratcheting driver element is to engage a driven element.
