Abstract: A tool holder has a housing with magnets mounted therein with a slot therebetween and movable pegs therein cooperating to hold a series of sockets, or a series of screw drivers or bits therefor, or a series of wrenches, or other tools, or combinations thereof, mounted at a desired position on the tool holder.

Abstract: A plier having a wire twisting mechanism mounted on one handle with the opposing handle providing a multi tooth lock bar. A slide lock which actuates a spring retractable lock pawl is mounted on the twisting mechanism support. This arrangement allows locking of the plier handles when the proper jaw pressure is applied to varying thickness' of safety wire or any other item held in the pliers grip. A squeeze of the handles retracts the law pawl and releases the pliers grip.

Abstract: A tool holder has a housing with magnets mounted in a pair of dove-tailed grooves with a slot therebetween and movable pegs therein cooperating to hold a series of sockets, or a series of screw drivers or bits therefor, or a series of wrenches, or other tools, or combinations thereof, mounted at a desired position on the tool holder.

Abstract: A magnetic socket track is provided which includes a non-ferrous base with concave grips the length of the outer sides. Two sections of ferrous metal with ninety (90) degree bends lie inside the channel with the protrusion of the ninety (90) degree bends facing each other. Set between the ferrous metal strips lies a length of conventional magnetic material with the north pole facing one metal strip and the south pole facing the other, yet set far enough from the ninety (90) degree bends to provide a channel. Due to the relationship of the magnetic material and the ferrous metal, a strong magnetic field is formed at the ninety (90) degree bends and right angle material. Into this channel slide the square or hexagonal heads of the threaded non-ferrous studs, with the heads of the studs large enough to prevent the studs from rotating in the channel. Numerous studs are positioned in the channel with various sizes of non-ferrous, round, internally-threaded receptacles tightened down on the studs.

Abstract: A reversible wire twisting plier tool is provided, which includes a pair of plier arms each having a jaw portion and a handle portion and which are pivotally interconnected and movable between an open position and a closed position. Plier rotating means are mounted on one of the handles. The rotating means includes a sleeve and a double spiral shank having a left hand groove and a right hand groove, axially slidably mounted within the sleeve. First and second gears are disposed within the sleeve, one gear being slidably engaged in one of said grooves and the other being slidably engaged in the other groove. A gear actuator is provided which is movable between a first actuated position wherein the actuator engages the first gear and a second actuated position wherein the actuator engages the second gear to selectively impart a clockwise or counterclockwise motion to the shaft depending upon which gear means is engaged. A slider is mounted on the sleeve and connected to the gear actuator.
