  • Publication number: 20150020392
    Abstract: A hand saw including a blade, a frame that supports the blade, and a tensioning mechanism. The frame including a first leg having a first blade support, a second leg spaced from the first leg, a cross member extending between the first leg and the second leg, and a handle. The tensioning mechanism including a bracket having a second blade support, the bracket pivotable with respect to the frame in a first direction to increase a distance between the blade supports and in an opposite direction to decrease the distance between the blade supports, a lever actuatable between a tension position and a release position, and a linkage that couples the lever to the bracket such that movement of the lever towards the tension position pivots the bracket in the first direction, and movement of the lever towards the release position pivots the bracket in the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20140290446
    Abstract: A pipe wrench that includes a head including an aperture and a first jaw including a plurality of teeth that define a contact region. The wrench further includes a second jaw that extends through the aperture of the head and includes a threaded portion and a plurality of teeth that define a contact region. A thumb wheel moves the contact region of the second jaw toward and away from the contact region of the first jaw. An auxiliary drive is spaced from the contact regions of the first and second jaws, and the auxiliary drive includes a first auxiliary drive portion located on the first jaw and a second auxiliary drive portion located on the second jaw such that rotation of the thumb wheel moves the second auxiliary drive portion toward and away from the first auxiliary drive portion.
