Abstract: A crimp usable in attaching terminal tackle, such as a hook, to a fishing line. The crimp may include a preattached pin extending from the crimp. The pin may be used to facilitate attachment of a baitfish to the hook. In at least one embodiment, the pin may be used to attached a baitfish to a hook by inserting the pin through a lower and upper jaw of a baitfish.

Abstract: A power tool chuck and bit shank system for attaching changeable tool bits to a power tool such as a router. The chuck includes a body having a bore which is sized to accept a tool bit shank. At least two movable gripping jaws are included for gripping the tool bit shank, which are moved with a tightening mechanism. At least one flat surface is provided in at least a section of the bore for mating with at least one corresponding flat surface provided on a tool bit shank to prevent rotational movement of the tool bit shank within the bore. A tool bit shank having a flat surface can be gripped in the chuck with hand tightening of the tightening mechanism, and a tool bit shank without a flat surface can be gripped in the chuck with assisted tightening of the tightening mechanism.

Abstract: A drill bit point storage system comprising a drill bit and at least one cavity in at least a portion of the drill bit for storing at least one drill bit point. The system can also include a coupling device for securing the drill bit point when the drill bit point is stored within the cavity of the drill bit. In one arrangement, the coupling device can be a cover positioned substantially around the drill bit in which at least a first portion of the cover can have a shape that can substantially correspond to a shape of said portion of the drill bit such that the first portion of the cover can be substantially adjacent to the portion of the drill bit. The first portion of the cover can be at least partially positioned over the cavity when the drill bit point is stored therein.

Abstract: A mounting bracket includes at least one support member for supporting an object, at least one receiving member engaged to the at least one support member for receiving a leg and at least one cross member engaged to the at least one support member in which the cross member includes securing structure for receiving a shoulder mechanism and the securing structure permits the shoulder mechanism to be variably adjusted into a plurality of fixed positions. Also, a workbench system includes at least one beam, at least one leg, at least one shoulder mechanism for supporting a movable workpiece and at least one mounting bracket.

Abstract: A router bit system and method. The system includes at least one shaping body having at least one cutting blade and at least one shank, at least one guide bearing and a fastener for detachably coupling the guide bearing to said shaping body in which the shank includes at least one substantially flat surface for receiving a gripping device. The substantially flat surfaces of the shank can include a plurality of raised ridges for providing a slip-resistant gripping surface. In addition, at least a portion of the substantially flat surface of the shank can include a protective material. The cutting blades of the shaping body can remove a predetermined amount of material from a workpiece in which the predetermined amount of the material removed can be partially based upon a radius of the guide bearing.

Abstract: A guide for a tool such as a router includes a support structure attachable to a table and having a mounting surface. A fence portion such as a rectangular fence block is coupled to said mounting surface for guiding a workpiece to and from the tool. An adjustment structure is included for positioning the fence portion at one of a plurality of predetermined distances from the mounting surface. At least one coupling couples the fence part to the mounting surface, and holds the fence portion at the predetermined distance from the mounting surface.

Abstract: A system for securing at least one socket includes a base member and at least one clip sized to engage the socket. The clip can have a top surface, at least one leg extending from the top surface for detachably mounting the clip to the base member, and at least one releasing structure extending from the top surface. The releasing structure can have a release tab for disengaging the socket from the clip.
