Abstract: An arthroscopic port introduction system includes an elongate hollow introducing needle and an elongate stylet sized and adapted to be disposed within the elongate hollow introducing needle together forming a single tissue-penetrating tip. The system also includes an elongate hollow enlarging shaft adapted to be disposed over the elongate hollow introducing needle. An operative tissue-penetrating length of the elongate hollow introducing needle is exposed beyond a distal end of the elongate hollow enlarging shaft. The elongate hollow introducing needle can be removed in a proximal direction from the elongate hollow enlarging shaft. An arthroscopic port sheath is disposed over the elongate hollow enlarging shaft and an operative tissue-penetrating length of the elongate hollow enlarging shaft is exposed beyond a distal end of the arthroscopic port sheath. The elongate hollow enlarging shaft can be removed in a proximal direction from the arthroscopic port sheath.

Abstract: A mounting bracket a generally C-shaped arrangement for receiving a fork carrier beam of a drywall crane fork assembly. A removable sidewall carried by the mounting bracket for enclosing the mounting bracket around the fork carrier beam. A tensioning member carried by the removable sidewall for biasing against the fork carrier beam. An extension arm carried in an extension arm port, wherein the extension arm has a generally L-shaped arrangement with a first arm portion adjustably carried in the extension arm port, and a second arm portion disposed at a distal end of the first arm portion and extending perpendicular to the first arm portion. Accordingly, the mounting bracket is removably mountable around the fork carrier beam and provides the extension arm extending in an adjustable arrangement perpendicular to lifting forks of the drywall crane fork assembly to assist with sliding drywall off the fork assembly over an extended distance.

Abstract: A fastening system comprises a driving tool having a driving shaft and a fastener having a fastener shaft. A sleeve is sized and shaped to create an interference fit when installed about the driving shaft of the driving tool.
