Abstract: A device for extending zinc-air battery life for intermittent use with a battery chamber that allows air to flow to the batteries when needed, a battery chamber to completely seal off air flow to the batteries when the device is off, a tension device that enables stacking of zinc-air hearing aid batteries without cutting off air flow between the batteries, a battery chamber with minimal air volume.

Abstract: A combination tool capable of being clipped into a pocket which incorporates an outwardly biased writing implement, e.g., pen, into a tip of a removable Phillips-head screwdriver tip at one end of a hexagonal tube while having a removable second tip, e.g., regular screwdriver tip at an opposed end. The handle, an inwardly biased clip affixed thereto for fastening into a shirt or pant pocket, is used for facilitating rotational movement of the hexagonal tube with screw tips attached, and is insertable over either tip and at least partially onto the hexagonal tube, an interior hole within the handle being dimensioned so as to permit sliding frictional engagement between the handle and the tube. In a preferred embodiment, the pen has a selectively retractable tip, retracting effected by converting inward radial force into compressive longitudinal movement.
