Patent number: 8935972Abstract: A firefighter tool has pivotably connected handles and jaws, and one handle has an outer generally sinusoidal surface and the handle end is formed with a hook facingly disposed to the generally sinusoidal surface. The handles open fully so that the user grips the other handle and the sinusoidal surface hook alternately operably contactingly engages differently sized and configured fire hose couplings.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Channellock, Inc.Inventor: Terry C. Farrell

Patent number: 8776647Abstract: A pliers fencing tool includes a wedge having a through slot for engagement with the rotatably mounted ratcheted sprocket teeth of a fence wire strainer suspended between the fence wire looped ends. Through slot engaged caused the teeth to rotate from a first to a second ratcheted position and thereby strain the fence wire. A grip having a thumb receiving recess and thumb guard is provided between the wedge and the means for pivotably connecting the handles, and the handles are gripped at the grip portion with the wedge distally disposed.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2013Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Channellock, Inc.Inventor: Terry C. Farrell

Patent number: 8291794Abstract: A compact readily pocket stowable ergonomic grip rescue tool includes pivotally fully opened handles in an obtuse angle disposition with one handle separately gripped with hand and thumb conforming functionality. A leverage force is transmitted from the gripped handle through force bearing surfaces to the oppositely disposed handle having an outwardly disposed generally sinusoidal surface and juxtaposed hook end which engage a seized fire hose coupling. A resultant high torque force is generated by the compact pocket stowable tool to readily uncouple seized fire hose coupling.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Channellock, Inc.Inventor: Terry C. Farrell
