A wrench which includes an elongated shaft having a device at one end to receive a drive, such as a handle or the like, which drive usually is free to rotate on the elongated shaft, and a device at the other end to receive a socket or similar article. Alternatively, the other end may itself be configured in socket form or other tool, such as a phillips screwdriver head. The elongated shaft includes two swivel points along its length, permitting the tool to take various operating configurations, including straight through, an L form for high torque, and a lazy Z form for high speed.
5280740 - Flexible head socket wrench - Owned by MAC Tools Inc. (Washington C. H., OH) [*] Notice:The portion of the term of this patent subsequent to February 25, 2009 has been disclaimed.
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.
A wrench for use on an oil filter having a first curved member with a plurality of apertures formed therein at spaced intervals, a second curved member having a slot at one end so as to receive a first of the first curved member extending therethrough, and a handle extending outwardly of the first and second curved members. The slot includes a locking member affixed thereto. The locking member removably engages one and only one of the apertures of the first curved member. The handle has a first portion affixed to the first and second curved members and extending outwardly therefrom and a second portion hingedly connected to the first portion. The second portion of the handle has a first position in planar alignment with the first portion and a second position in perpendicular relationship to the first portion. The handle has a third portion hingedly connected to an end of the second portion and movable between a position in planar alignment with the first and second portions to a position perpendicular to the second portion.
A screwdriver includes a handle, a ratchet socket, a rotary linkage and a cap. The handle has a channel inside to accommodate the rotary linkage with one end inserted with the ratchet socket and a screwdriver socket. The rotary linkage includes a linkage, a tube, a stop section, a spring and a pivoting rod. The linkage has one end pivoted to the stop section inserted in the spring and penetrates axially in the tube. One end of the tube protrudes a wall at the inner periphery and has a pair of gaps at the end. Another end of the linkage is pivoted to the pivoting rod and the cap. The cap is pulled to draw out the linkage with the stop section at the end of the linkage to compress the spring to hold against the wall of the tube, and the pivoting rod is bent for rotation.
A parking member service tool is provided, which consists of a body having a first end, a second end, a top surface, a bottom surface and lateral sides. A handle extends from the first end of the body. A elongated blade extends from the second end of the body. A first tool member is mounted to the body and is positioned at the top surface thereof. A second tool member is mounted to the body and is positioned at the bottom surface thereof.
A tool includes a base having a slot defined in an end thereof and a head pivotally engaged with the slot. An output shaft extends from the head and a recess is defined in an end of the head. A tube extends from the base and a shank extends through the tube. An eccentric rod extends longitudinally from the shank and is located in the slot and is retained within the recess. When rotating shank, the head is rotated about the output shaft by the movement of the eccentric rod.
