Abstract: A device for the temporary fixing or manipulation of objects including a first head with a front active face and a rear active face and a second head with a front active face and a rear active face. The front and rear active faces of the first head are movable relative to one another and the front and rear active faces of the second head are movable relative to one another. The rear active face of the first head is immovably connected to the front active face of the second head. The device also includes a force mechanism for introducing an active force to the first and second heads.

Abstract: The punch press tool efficiently punches out a sheared sickle blade section bolt or a bolt from which the retaining nut has been removed in an implement using a reciprocating sickle bar. The punch press tool includes an elongated handle having a pair of rigidly connected parallel links pivotally connected to one end thereof to straddle a sickle bar. A removable transverse pin is engaged with end portions of the links in spaced relation to the end of the handle and oriented below the sickle bar when the handle and attached ends of the links are positioned above the sickle bar. The handle includes a radially extending heat treated projecting pointed pin spaced from the pivot axis of the handle to downwardly engage the end of a broken bolt in a sickle bar to force the bolt downwardly out of the sickle bar when the handle is pivoted toward the sickle bar.

Abstract: A chain link tool including a pair of jaws on one side of the tool adapted to close the respective eyes of a cross chain connecting link, said jaws moving together as the handles are moved together and conversely, and such that a groove and a projection on the other side of the tool are adapted to receive the transverse portion of the side chain and to grasp the curved end of the cross-chain connecting link respectively when the handles are apart and to disengage the cross-chain connecting link as the handles are moved together.
