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 embodiments of the coupling platforms described herein are usable to couple storage units, such as modular storage units, to structures, such as to the undersides of benches or tables. One or more of the coupling platforms described herein facilitate the user supporting a newly-disengaged support unit. For example, one or more of the coupling platforms permit the user to place their hands on both sides of the storage unit to complete a disengagement between the coupling platform and the storage unit.

Coupling platform for utility module

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

A hand tool including a first jaw, a first handle fixed to the first jaw, a second jaw, and a second handle pivotally coupled to the second jaw. The hand tool further includes a link member having a first end pivotally coupled to at least one selected from the group of the first jaw and the first handle, and a second end pivotally coupled to the second jaw.

Locking pliers

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 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 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

Pliers

A ratcheting tool is provided. The ratcheting tool includes a ratchet mechanism including a gear structure and a pawl structure. The pawl structure includes at least one elastic or integral component that provides spring action/biasing to the pawl teeth which facilitates ratcheting movement.
