Abstract: A landscape lighting pocket tool having a set of foldable retractable tool bits for working on an article to enable on the go and on the spot adjusting or repairing an article or a system as well as one or more tool bits that may an angle adjustable level for determining a level condition of an article, a drywall saw blade that allows the handle of the foldable pocket tool to be used as a handle of the drywall saw blade and a set of bevel cutting edges in the jaws of the foldable pocket tool to allow a person to both cut and strip insulation from a variety of different wire sizes wire without damaging the wire.

Abstract: A foldable pocket field tool having a foldable pliers and a set of specialty field tool bits to enable the foldable pocket tool to be carried on a person and used on-the-go with the field tool having a set of tool bits tool bits extendable or retractable into a handle and with each of the tool bits operable for efficiently performing a unique service tasks that may occur when installing or servicing a field system such as an irrigation system. The tool bits may be arranged to provide a two-part handle for use in manipulating an adjacent tool bit about a central axis as the tool bit is supported by the foldable pocket tool.

Abstract: An epidermal friendly twist-on wire connector and a method of applying an epidermal twist-on wire connector having a resilient gripping region including a set of low profile, resilient ribs that are circumferentially spaced so that a users thumb and fingers can compressively and sequentially engage and compress at least a portion of a plurality of ribs as well as the valley between the ribs during application of a wire securement torque to the twist-on wire connector while at the same time inhibiting or preventing epidermal trauma in a users thumb and fingers.

Abstract: A finger friendly twist-on wire connector having a spiral coil and an open end rigid shell secured to the spiral coil with the rigid shell having an outer surface with a circumferential band and a closed end supporting a finger cushion material integral to at least a portion of the outer surface of the rigid shell with the finger cushion material including a plurality of circumferentially spaced elongated ribs resiliently deformable in response to radially and tangential finger forces thereon as rotational finger forces are transmitted to the rigid shell through the finger cushion material to thereby inhibit finger fatigue and finger injury while allowing the user to maintain a feel of the wire engagement within the wire connector.

Abstract: A sealing ring and a method of preventing or stopping a joint leak between a pipe and a pipe fitting to minimize property damage as well as clean up costs occurring from property damage due to joint leaks by securing a sealing ring to the pipe and the pipe fitting to form a secondary joint that inhibits or prevent leakage between the primary joint between the pipe and the pipe fitting.

Abstract: A sealing member and a preemptive system and a preemptive method of preventing or stopping a primary joint leak between a pipe and a pipe fitting by securing a sealing ring to the pipe and the pipe fitting to form a secondary joint that inhibits or prevent leakage between the primary joint between the pipe and the pipe fitting without knowing if the primary joint is faulty.

Abstract: Described herein are improved wet/dry vacuum appliance assemblies and associated systems which facilitate the ease of removal of the filter assembly from within the appliance itself. The vacuum appliance assemblies described include a drum, a lid assembly adapted to removably mount on or to hinge on the drum, and a filter assembly housed within the lid assembly, wherein the lid assembly comprises a removable component such that if the removable component is removed, the filter assembly is accessible.

Abstract: A suction pump coupler for replacement of the immersible one-way valve with the pump coupler securable to the inlet end of a suction pump for forming a leakproof connection to an intake pipe to enable use of the suction pump in a location wherein the suction pump is remote from the fluid being pumped with the pump coupler operable for securing an inlet pipe to the suction pump in a leakproof condition through rotational engagement of pump coupler with respect to the inlet pipe even with the presence of the suction pump cantileverly mounted thereon.

Abstract: A pump adaptor for on-the-go reducing the size of an inlet end of a utility pump having a static immersible one-way valve on an inlet end with the pump adaptor having a constricting band for forming a sealing surface with a portion of a pump barrel located downstream to the immersible one-way valve with the adaptor including a chamber for a static immersible one-way valve to enable reduction in the inlet to the utility pump without reducing the pump stroke capacity and without affecting the normal operation of the static one-way immersible valve.
