Abstract: An electric saw device includes a first saw blade and a second saw blade. The first and the second saw blades are respectively driven by a small transmission shaft and a large transmission shaft to rotate in opposite directions. A round rib is disposed on an inner end surface of the first saw blade, and at least three recessed holes are arranged in a top end surface of the round rib at equal angle intervals. A steel ball is accommodated in each of the recessed holes, and protrudes out of the recessed hole. Protruding ends of the steel balls urge against an inner surface of the second saw blade, so as to limit a distance between the first saw blade and the second saw blade, and form a rolling friction when the first and the second saw blade rotate in the opposite directions.

Abstract: A two sided pruning saw blade includes a main blade body, a concave underside cutting edge, a convex over-side cutting edge, and optionally a claw-shaped hook. The convex cutting edge is formed along a top edge of the main blade body for under-cutting a branch to form an underside kerf therein. The hook is positioned adjacent to the underside kerf to align the main blade body on a top side of the branch with the underside kerf. The concave cutting edge is formed along a bottom edge of the main blade body for over-cutting the branch to form an over-side kerf and to subsequently connect the over-side kerf with the underside kerf to sever the branch. The claw-shaped hook is disposed distally relative to the underside cutting edge to prevent the main blade body from passing wholly through the over-side kerf during cutting thereof.

Abstract: A tool for burring the surface of a material. The tool has two sets of oppositely facing toothed blades which are made to move towards each other when the tool is pressed against a surface. Each tooth planes a shallow groove into the surface which results in hook-like burrs or planings rising from each groove. Limiters on the blade stroke ensure that the raised burr is not severed. A spring returns the blades to their start position. The resulting surface therefore has a plurality of shallow, non-piercing stopped grooves with a like plurality of hook-like burrs. Such a modified surface provides increased surface area for electrochemical activity, and a mechanical grip to materials bonded thereto. The tool uses replaceable blade packs which snap into a permanent tool housing. The tool may be operated with a simple hammer blow or it may be rapidly driven into large or small areas of a surface by a manual and/or computer directed punch press.

Abstract: The invention described herein relates to a flush cut saw that is capable of safely making a flush cut. The saw has a handle with a thin, flexible blade extending therefrom. The blade has two elongated extensions running away from the handle. The extensions can each have external and internal edges, and are mounted in a spaced, opposed relation. The internal edges can be provided with teeth preferably oriented to allow for a pull cut. The external edges are dull, and may be curved to prevent injury.

Abstract: This invention consists of three new features which on their own or in combination, improve the usefulness of the existing drywall jab saw. The three new features are the addition of fine teeth to the top of the blade, a blade with equally spaced holes along its length which are used as a rip guide, and a notch at the end of the handle to help remove narrow rips of drywall.

In another aspect, an adjustable cutter wheel includes a serrated helical wheel for providing adjustment to contact the cutter wheel to the strainer plug body of the bathtub drain.

Abstract: A two sided pruning saw blade has a top cutting edge used for making an undercut of a limb while the bottom cutting edge is used for regular pruning. Both the top cutting edge and the bottom cutting edge have a compound curve containing two radii of curvatures which are different from one another.

Abstract: A child safe cutter for use by children in carving pulpy round fruits such as pumpkins. The cutter is capable of clearing particulate from a cut being formed in the fruit to prevent jamming and sticking of said cutter caused by the compression of the pulp about the blade. The cutter includes a handle for gripping and an elongated blade mounted thereon. The blade extends away from the handle to define a tip and has at least one edge, and two opposing sides defining a thickness. The blade has a trough of gradually increasing width and depth formed along at least one of its two opposing sides to facilitate the removal of pulp and particulate matter so the blade may move freely in the fruit when cutting. The tip has a hook formed thereon extending from an edge of the blade and curving toward the blade's centerline. A plurality of cutting teeth are positioned transversely along at least a portion of the one or more edges of the blade in an area between the handle and the tip.

Abstract: A packing extractor tool (10 ) for removing packing (27) from a valve assembly (20), is described. The extractor tool is comprised of an arcuate sidewall (11) having an opening (17) that enables the extractor tool to be mounted around a valve stem (25) without removing the handle wheel (37) from the valve stem. One end of the sidewall of the extractor tool is provided with sawblade teeth (13). The other end of the sidewall has a handle (15) that enables the extractor tool to be rotated around the valve stem to that the sawblade teeth can cut into and disintegrate the packing. A distal portion (15B) of the handle can be angled upward which helps a user apply a downward force to the extractor tool so that the sawblade teeth can penetrate into and disintegrate the packing.

Abstract: A power saw has two oppositely reciprocating saw blades guided and supported in a receiving slot in a support plate. The blades are supported during sawing along shoulders on their outside by lower edges of support sections of the support plate. The arrangement is such that forces generated in operation during cutting press the saw blades together in the area of their teeth. This prevents saw dust, chippings etc. penetrating between the two saw blades. Preferably, the thickness of the saw blade shoulders are not greater than half the thickness of the saw blades, and preferably no greater than the thickness of the support section edges. The teeth of the saw blades may be so ground and arranged that the resultant force on the teeth during cutting also forces the saw blades together at their teeth.

Abstract: A hand saw having cutting teeth with a depth limiting design compatable with the forces capable of being generated by an operator. The leading cutting edge is followed by a rearwardly sloping bottom surface that allows the operator to control the bite of the teeth and thereby produce a smoother cutting action.
