A tool rack is disclosed. A pair of flanges rest on a carrying surface such as a rack of a toolbox, or a tool cart. A series of risers extend away from the flanges and across a width between the flanges to create individual riser nests within which to store tools.

Pliers rack

Contact point

A hose clamp pliers for use with both a wire spring hose clamp and a band spring hose clamp is disclosed. Two arms of the hose clamp pliers each rotatably carry contact points of different configurations. The first contact point is designed to receive, in a first position, an end portion of a wire spring clamp through a notch; and in a second position, to receive a hoop-shaped end of a band spring clamp. The second contact point is configured to receive both an end portion of a wire spring clamp, and a tab-shaped end of a band spring clamp. The hose clamp pliers is provided with a thumb release cooperating with a ratcheting pawl to control opening and closing of the pliers arms, which opens and closes the hose clamp.

Hose clamp pliers

A pliers switchable for use with external snap-rings and internal snap-rings is disclosed. A jaw assembly with easily changeable tips is provided, and to be more convenient for the end-user, a spring loaded tip release mechanism and jaw assembly is provided.

Switchable pliers and method for use

A tool for retracting pistons into cylinder bores is disclosed. A plurality of centering cones are provided to engage with a multitude of piston sizes and configurations. A user selects an appropriately sized centering cone and engages the selected centering cone with a spring loaded distal pusher portion of said tool. A female threaded collar and spreader plate combination receives a male threaded thrust bolt. The male threaded thrust bolt carries the spring loaded distal pusher portion. The spreader plate is pressed against a face of the caliper assembly, and rotation of the male threaded thrust bolt by a driver, such as a ratchet wrench or impact gun, applies inward and rotating forces from the spring loaded distal pusher portion of said tool to the piston, while separating the spring loaded distal pusher portion of said tool from the spreader plate.

Rear brake caliper press

Mirror bezel

A tool for retracting pistons into cylinder bores is disclosed. Plates of the present invention are locked by a key to prevent the plates from spinning independently. Additionally, the key acts as an internal stop, providing a point beyond which the plates cannot be further spread or separated from one another. Additionally, a spring is provided to prevent the thread from turning independently from the plates.

Brake caliper tool

A tool for retracting pistons into cylinder bores is disclosed, with a narrow gap between facing pressure plates allowing use of the tool in tight places, and ratcheting spreading of the facing pressure plates causing outward moving of the pistons, enabling work to be performed. One of the pressure plates is reversible to change the minimum narrow gap from a first width to a second width. In each of the orientations, the plates are movable towards and away from one another.

Thread restorer tool

Apparatus directed to the art of disengaging an input from an output at predetermined torque values. A torque limiting clutch capable of use as a solid drive unit and a torque limited unit for which the torque disengagement value is selectable. The torque limiting clutch has an overload assembly and a torque drive mechanism which may comprise a plurality of drive pins. Additionally, the torque limiting clutch may comprise seals to discourage contaminants from entering the clutch.

Torque limiting clutch

A method of forming a ratchet wheel adapted to be disposed in at least one end of the ratchet wrench for engaging an element to be turned, includes the step of providing a wheel blank having a generally hollow, cylindrical body formed with a radially projecting rib located midway between an upper hub portion and a lower hub portion, the upper hub portion being integrally formed with an upstanding lip having a diameter equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter of the upper hub portion. The method also includes the step of bending the lip inwardly to form a retention ring adapted to engage the upper surface of the element to be turned and prevent the element from slipping through the wheel of the ratchet wrench.
