  • Patent number: 7311186
    Abstract: A ratchet tool includes a barrel rotatably engaged into a cartridge and having a gear, two pawls slidably received in the cartridge and each having a base plane and a side plane and two or more teeth biased to engage with the gear of the barrel, and a control ferrule may control the engagement of the pawls with the gear of the barrel. The teeth of the pawls each includes two tooth surfaces having different included angles relative to the base plane of the pawl and relative to the side plane of the pawl, and having different included angles relative to each other, for allowing the barrel to be suitably rotated or driven by the cartridge with an increased driving torque.

  • Patent number: 7287450
    Abstract: A tool device includes a handle and a driving shank having one end engaged into the handle and rotatably attached and coupled to the handle with a pivot shaft for allowing the driving shank to be rotated relative to the handle from a straight position in line with the handle to a position perpendicular to the handle to form a T-shaped driving tool device. The driving shank includes a number of depressions and the handle includes a spring biased detent member for engaging with either of the depressions of the driving shank and for anchoring the driving shank to the handle at selected angular positions. An actuating member is slidably received in the handle for actuating the detent member to engage with the driving shank.

  • Patent number: 7174814
    Abstract: A tool handle includes a handle member having a number of compartments formed in an outer peripheral portion, a number of holders rotatably received in the compartments of the handle member and each having an engaging hole for receiving a tool member, and a rotary member rotatably attached to the handle member. The holders each includes an extension. The rotary member includes an actuator or a peripheral groove for selectively engaging with the extensions of the holders, and for selectively rotating the holders relative to the handle member to an outwardly opening and working position, by rotating the rotary member relative to the handle member.

  • Patent number: 7039975
    Abstract: A tool includes a longer handle member having a passage formed in a stem, a cover detachably attached to the longer handle member, a telescopic tool device detachably attached to the cover and engaging through and extendible out of the passage of the stem and having a magnetic element for attracting fasteners. A shorter handle member is detachably attached to the longer handle member, and a ratchet tool mechanism is detachably coupled to the shorter handle member for being driven by the shorter handle member. A magnetic securing device may secure the handle members together. A tool holder may be received in the longer handle member for receiving tool members.

  • Patent number: 6520053
    Abstract: A rotatable tool handle device includes a handle having a chamber for receiving a spring biased latch, a shank having one end rotatably secured to the handle with a pivot shaft and having two cavities. A latch is slidably engaged in the chamber of the handle, and guided to move relative to the handle, and has a tongue for solidly engaging into either of the cavities of the shank and for securing the shank to the handle at a selected angular position. A spring may bias the tongue of the latch to solidly engage with either of the cavities of the shank.
