Abstract: A efficient hand tool and insert bit design to provide uninterrupted continuous rotation when driving rotary fasteners in very low to moderately high torque situations, and allows seamless transition to normal tightening methods when fastening torque increases beyond this range, all with the use of one hand. In addition, invention allows user to apply more turning torque towards the fastener then normal screwdriver type hand tools.

Abstract: The hand tool is used with screws or the like, as well as for performing cutting work, such as deburring, drilling, etc. It comprises a handle like that of a deburring tool and having a polygonal receptacle (24) for the tool insert (26), e.g. a screw bit. The shank is offset in similar manner to a crank and has on its end (80) inserted in the handle (10) by means of the rapid clamping device (62) a sleeve (30) rotating on the shank and which is fixed axially and against rotation in the handle by means of a lateral flattening and an opening using a ball of the rapid clamping device. Correspondingly the handle can receive the crank-like tool (12) operable by a handle crank movement, but also tool shanks placed in non-rotary manner in the handle.

Abstract: A strap winding tool includes a bent metal bar with a short elbow which can fit into a borehole opening in a ratchet extension on a strap winder on a flat bed trailer.

Abstract: A hinged socket wrench for use with tool sockets which utilizes an offset shank (20) at bends of equal angles, which place the ends parallel with each other. A clevis (28) is formed into the shank at one end and a square drive head (30) is held in place within the clevis with a hinge pin (40), thus permitting a 180 degree rotation. The wrench secures a workpiece by spinning the offset handle in a circular direction and then pushed to a convenient position for tightening. The wrench may be used as a conventional flex handle by locking the drive head in an angular position in five equal increments by sliding the hinge pin (40) to the appropriate position. A second embodiment includes another head attached directly to both the handle (58) and an additional clevis which functions in the same manner as the square drive head however it adds further combinations of angular displacement of the speed handle increasing its value as a tool and also its productiveness in difficult work areas.

Abstract: A winding tool for a winch is disclosed. The winch is used on flatbed trailers to hold webbing used to strap down loads on the trailer. The winding tool is designed to use the winch bar interface on currently available winches.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a P-handle extraction tool for removing and/or installing a tubular member when access to the external surface of the tubular member is restricted. The tool uses a P-shaped handle to orient the grip of the tool approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tubular member to be removed or installed that is engaged by the tool. Thus oriented, the tubular member is rotated by rotating the grip about the axis of rotation of the tubular member. The handle design also provides for the attachment of a torque arm, thereby allowing the user to generate additional torque necessary to remove tightly fitted tubular members.

Abstract: A double throw crank handle for a nautical winch has a first lever extending radially out from a winch axis and having a first grip at the outward end. A second lever is connected to the outward end of the first lever and extends parallel back over the winch axis to locate an opposite end a similar radially offset distance from the winch axis. A second grip extends up from the second lever opposite end. A locking mechanism to hold the crank handle in the winch socket is mounted below the first lever plug end. Counterbalanced two handed cranking about a winch axis is executed in winding the winch using the double throw crank handle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hand-powered tool facilitating the translation of rotary motion of a workman's arm through an angled shaft which may rotate freely with respect to a handle. The angled shaft has three coplanar bends resulting in a stretched "Z" configuration in order to allow the user to apply a great torque about a circle which his hand easily can describe and which is translated through the shaft to the subject fastener or surface point. The shaft is rotatably mounted to a handle through a bearing thereby enabling full rotation of the shaft with respect to the handle and permitting the user to complete a rotary cycle without release the tool. A hollow tip is disposed at one end of the tool within which interchangeable bits may be installed. An auxiliary handle releasably attached to the shaft also is provided for use in situations where a greater torque is required.

Abstract: A speed handle which includes a ratchet drive on the working end. A conventional socket can be attached to the mounting end of the ratchet drive. The speed handle is especially useful in areas where there is very little room for operating a conventional wrench or conventional ratchet wrench.

Abstract: A hand screw driver preventing a user's wrist from being twisted during screw driving operation. The screw driver comprises an offset shank having a tip at its lower end and being bent twice such that it has a Z-shape, and a handle having a shank receiving hole for rotatably receiving an upper section of the offset shank. The offset shank is shifted between a fixed position wherein it is fixed to the handle and a rotatable position wherein it is relatively rotated with respect to the handle. A biasing member is provided in the shank receiving hole of the handle to bias the handle with respect to the shank to shift the shank between the fixed position and the rotatable position as required.

Abstract: A socket wrench is shown having a socket driver head pinned to a clevis on a shaft. A sleeve is receivable over the shaft end and includes open ended slots pointing away from the clevis. The shaft includes a pin press fit within a cross bore on the shaft end, and the shaft and sleeve are axially slidable relative to each other; where in one position the pin engages one of the slots, and in another position, the shaft and sleeve spin freely of each other. A handle includes an internal bore which is profiled to compressively fit over the sleeve, and a chamber is defined between the sleeve and the end of the internal bore, to provide clearance for the axial movement of the shaft and sleeve.

Abstract: The speed wrench includes a plastic handle and a S-curve shaped shaft with a mount to receive tool driving or drilling inserts. The S-curve shaped shaft causes the axis of the tool to intersect the axis of the handle, thereby causing a cone-shaped pattern of rotation. The shaft permits the user to rotate the handle with wrist motion, thereby rotating the tool insert.

Abstract: For use with a low profile vise assembly of a type adapted to be carried on the support table of a milling machine or similar equipment, an operating handle engages a drive nut portion of the vise screw and extends diagonally away from the axis of the screw at a relatively low angle whereby the outer end of the operating handle is free to rotate continuously through 360.degree. so as to quickly move the sliding jaw of the vise.

Abstract: An improvement to a pair of locking pliers comprising an extension to the locking pliers handle having an elongated brace for holding and turning, said brace attached in an off-set manner to a collar which in turn holds the handle of the pair of locking pliers. The collar is so off-set from the longitudinal axis of the brace extension to provide alignment of a held tool in the jaws of the locking pliers with the longitudinal axis of the brace extension in order that by rotation of the brace extension, direct rotation of the tool, such as a screw or bolt, held in the jaws of the locking pliers, is accomplished, and such may be done at a relatively long distance from the locking pliers and tool so held, additionally being accomplished with added torque and speed over use of the locking pliers without the improvement.
