Abstract: A swivel joint adapter is for use between a tool handle and tool head such as a wrench head. The swivel joint adapter includes a tongue interposed between forked arms. The tongue and forked arms are able to be selectively swiveled upon simultaneous depression of two opposed release buttons. The release buttons have toothed-wall cylinders which lock with similar walls defined on apertures through the forked arms and tongue. Upon depression of the buttons, the toothed walls of the button disengage by lateral sliding movement from the toothed walls of the forked arms, thereby allowing swivelling of the joint adapter.

Abstract: A twist lock socket holder comprising: a carrier having a cam recess and a securing pin, the securing pin having a retaining surface and a securing surface; a boss attachable to the carrier, the boss having one or more cam followers, the cam followers generally engaging the cam surface to urge the boss generally along a central axis of the securing pin when the boss is rotated; and a detent ball housed within a detent in the boss, the detent ball generally retained within the detent by a retaining surface on the securing pin and movable into a socket detent by a securing surface of the securing pin; and a segmented carrier positioner in simultaneous communication with a carrier containment device and one or more carriers.

Abstract: A tool holder comprising: a boss configured to accept the tool and having a can 4 which may be inserted into a recess on a carrier; a movable carrier in communication with a securing pin providing for the releasable engagement of the tool when the tool is placed on the boss and the tool is rotated when engaged; and, a carrier positioner in simultaneous communication with a carrier containment device and one or more movable carriers.

Abstract: A magnetic tool management system with a magnetically attracting material having a number of spaced apart apertures of a size and shape for accommodating at least one surface of a tool. The magnetically attracting member optionally has indicia disposed thereon describing a tool corresponding to at least one of the apertures. The apertures are generally organized in a substantially planar array. The array includes substantially circular apertures which hold sockets in a variant. Optionally, an overlay is applied to the magnetically attracting member. The overlay has optional indicia thereon describing a tool corresponding to at least one of the respective apertures. The tool management system further includes a plurality of sockets disposed within the substantially circular apertures, and is used in a tool box having at least one accessible compartment. The tool box has tools, or portions thereof, such as sockets disposed in the apertures of the tool management system.
