Abstract: Portable, hand held, battery operated, hydraulic tools are provided with a tool frame and one or more interchangeable working heads. When the working head is connected with the tool frame, a piston actuated by a hydraulic system within the tool frame applies force to the working head to perform a task. A coupling mechanism holds the working head to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism allows the working head to be removed from the tool frame and another working head to be joined to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can hold the working head at a fixed rotational angle with respect to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can also allow the working head to rotate with respect to the tool frame.

Abstract: A hydraulic tool includes a handle having a trigger, a tool head, a tool body, a pump, a first actuator, a second actuator, and a conduit. The tool head has a first jaw and a second jaw. The tool body includes a first portion, an extension, and a second portion positioned between the handle and the tool head. The pump is activated by the trigger to displace a first fluid. The first actuator is moveable by the displacement of the first fluid to displace a second fluid. The second actuator is moveable by the displacement of the second fluid to cause movement of at least one of the first and second jaws. A conduit provides fluid communication between the first actuator and the second actuator.

Abstract: A die set adapted to remove an end of a substantially flat lug of an electrical connector. The die set includes a first die and a second die. The first die includes a first frame and a spring loaded member connected to the first frame. The first frame includes a first contact surface adapted to directly contact a first side of the lug. The second die includes a second frame having a second contact surface adapted to contact a second side of the lug at a position offset from the first contact surface. The spring loaded member is adapted to contact the first side of the lug directly opposite the second contact surface. The first and second contact surfaces are adapted to shear off the end of the lug from the electrical connector.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hydraulic hand tool. The tool includes a frame, a hydraulic drive, a drive shaft, and a seal assembly. The hydraulic drive is connected to the frame and includes a housing. The drive shaft extends from the hydraulic drive. The seal assembly is located between the drive shaft and the housing. The seal assembly includes a first seal member, a second seal member, and a carrier ring. The first seal member is in contact with the housing. The second seal member is in contact with the drive shaft. The carrier ring has an outer annular groove and an inner annular groove. The first seal member is located within the outer annular groove. The second seal member is located within the inner annular groove. The carrier ring includes a polymer material configured to elastically deform in response to a hydraulic load from hydraulic fluid at the hydraulic drive.

Abstract: A base assembly removably and adjustably receives a tool and includes a base and a wall extending outwardly from the base. First and second openings are disposed in the wall. First and second cutouts are disposed in the wall to receive the tool. A pivot pin is removably received by the first and second openings. The tool is removably disposed on the pivot pin. A locking ring is disposed on the pivot pin. The locking ring is in a locked position to prevent movement of the pivot pin and in an unlocked position to allow movement of the pivot pin, thereby allowing the tool to be easily moved between positions and securely locked in a desired position.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hydraulic tool working head guide. The hydraulic tool working head guide includes a main section having a general plate shape. The main section is adapted to be connected to an exterior surface of a hydraulic tool working head. The main section includes a slot having an open end at an edge of the main section and a closed end at a middle portion of the main section. The slot extends through a thickness of the main section. The closed end is adapted to be aligned with a receiving area of the hydraulic tool working head. The slot is adapted to substantially center a connector and/or a conductor in the receiving area.
