Abstract: The present invention provides acidic or basic cleaning compositions for use in cleaning food and beverage industry processing equipment and pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry processing equipment wherein the compositions of the invention comprise a food-equipment-safe acidic or basic cleaning compound and a food-equipment-safe colorimetric indicator of pH to show the desired acid or basic conditions during storage prior to the start of a cleaning cycle and after storage and during a cleaning cycle. The cleaning compositions of the invention are particularly useful in, for example, CIP cleaning processes.

Abstract: A socket extender with a bit locking mechanism is described herein. The socket extender includes a proximal end, a shaft, and a distal end; the shaft extends from the proximal end to the distal end. The proximal end includes a proximal side wall that defines a female square shaped drive socket. The distal end includes a distal sidewall that defines a female hexagon shaped head. The distal end further includes a set screw, where the set screw passes through an opening in the distal sidewall. A point of the set screw is engageable with a bit inserted into the female hexagon shaped head such that the bit is retained in the female hexagon shaped head. Further, at least a portion of the socket extender can be magnetized for bit retention. Moreover, a drive square (of a driving tool) is receivable in the female square shaped drive socket.
