One or more devices are provided that are configured to detachably engage within a modular system. The one or more devices are expandable to provide a surface to perform work.

Work structure for use with modular storage system

Various reusable respirator designs are shown. In one example, a reusable respirator includes an inhalation pathway with a conduit extending from the exterior of the respirator into the nose piece allowing users to receive air directly into an inner sealed zone around a user's nose and mouth. The inhalation pathway includes a vent opening such that the inhalation pathway also directs air into a facemask zone, between the nose piece and an outer seal reducing/preventing shield fogging during inhalation. In another example, the respirator includes cartridge attachment lobes each having a different size and shape. A filter cartridge assembly can only be aligned with the lobes in one orientation, creating a robust connection. In another example, a storage bin for a reusable respirator includes a one-way film placed underneath a plurality of perforations allowing gases and moisture to escape the bin while limiting the ingress of other gases or particles.

Reusable respirator

Various embodiments of pliers and pipe wrenches are provided. Wire cutters enable a finger pivot hole to enhance the grasp of the wire cutters while rotating the tool and/or stripping wire. Pipe wrenches include different configurations of teeth to improve durability and grip on a workpiece. Pliers are provided with axial teeth to enhance gripping a workpiece in different directions. Pliers are provided with selectable mechanical advantages so that a user may select the mechanical advantage desirable for a particular application.

Gripping hand tools

A ladder is provided. The ladder includes coupling components that couple modular storage elements to the ladder. The ladder includes various components to facilitate moving, carrying, and placing the ladder.

Increased and improved functionality for a ladder

Hanging tool storage devices, shown as tool boards are provided. In some embodiments, the tool board includes a base and a plurality of pocket panels adjustably coupled to various locations of the base. In certain embodiments, the base includes a plurality of base members that releasably couple to one another to form different base shapes and sizes. In other specific embodiments, the pocket panels are rigid and modularly connect to one another to form a rigid structure.

Hanging tool storage device

Described herein are various coupling systems to be used with storage units that are selectively coupled and decoupled. The coupling systems may be used with storage units that are stackable and/or transportable, thus allowing the storage units to function well within a large stationary environment, such as a basement, and also for a subset of the storage units to be selected and easily moved to another location.

Tool storage

Various designs for a gearless ratchet mechanism and tools incorporating the gearless ratchet mechanism are described. One embodiment relates to a gearless ratchet with a design for improved performance including low or zero swing angle and/or decreased part wear. Another embodiment relates to a gearless ratchet with features designed to maximize life and strength of the tool.

Tool with gearless ratchet mechanism

A torque wrench including a head, a handle, a primary beam, a secondary beam, and a torque adjustment mechanism. The primary beam couples the head and the handle for co-rotation about the rotational axis and the primary beam includes a first end adjacent the head and a second end adjacent the handle. The secondary beam is coupled to the head for rotation with the head about the rotational axis and the secondary beam is movable relative to the primary beam and the handle. The torque adjustment mechanism adjusts a torque setting of the primary beam relative to the secondary beam. The torque adjustment mechanism includes a thumb adjustment wheel that a user rotates about a first axis to adjust the torque setting by moving the second end of the primary beam relative to the handle along a second axis offset from the first axis.

Torque wrench

A tool, such as a respirator or gas mask, is provided. The respirator includes a body, a filter, an upper and lower strap, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism enables quick-release for fitting and/or adjusting the respirator on a user's head or face. In various embodiments, inelastic and elastic properties of the straps and/or a cord in the entwined region of the locking mechanism enhance the quick-release fit and adjustment of the locking mechanism.

Respirator

One or more devices are provided that are configured to detachably engage within a modular system. The one or more devices are positionable to provide a support structure upon which work can be performed.

Support structure for use with modular storage system

A storage container with various aspects is described herein. The storage container may have cleats or cleat receptacles to interact with other storage containers and/or accessories. The storage container may also include rails for attachment of various accessories. Some versions of the storage container may further include telescopic uprights connected to a handle. Many of the versions of the storage containers may further include wheels for transporting the storage containers and their contents.

Storage device system

A fish stick includes a light emitting component, such as a lighted tip, near the leading end of the fish stick. The lighted tip includes a curved lens that directs some light around an attachment piece at the end of the fish stick and generally in the forward direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fish stick. The fish stick may be made of a phosphorescent material and stored in a lit container with an LED and reflective surfaces. The fish stick may be made of multiple rods that are threadably engaged with each other and include a spring biasing element that increases the coefficient of friction between the threads of the rods. The fish stick may also be made of multiple rods that are threadably engaged with each other via collars.

Fish stick assembly

A cutter comprises one or more blades, a hinge coupled to the blades, and one or more adjustable handles pivotally coupled to the hinge. When being adjusted, the one or more adjustable handles permit adjusting their positions with respect to the opposing handle without concurrently actuating the blades.

Bolt cutter

Various embodiments of a modular tool storage system include one or more storage devices. One embodiment has a support including a base defining a back surface, an opposing front surface, and one or more sidewalls extending from the front surface. The front surface and the one or more sidewalls defining a containment area. The support includes coupling devices, such as male couplers, to couple the support to other components within the modular storage system.
