A method of modifying a hand-held tool which having a stationary handle actuated by a movable handle connected to a movable tool jaw by a connection linkage, the method including removing the moving handle and the stationary handle. A pneumatic actuator with a piston rod is added. The connection linkage is modified to extend between the piston rod and the movable tool jaw. A trigger is added between the pneumatic actuator and a source of pressurized gas.

Modified hand-held tool

A seat position sensor including a generally u-shaped housing and a cover disposed on the housing for blocking entry contaminants into a shunt opening of the housing. A sensor including mounting wings that flex upon mounting is also provided, as is a sensor including an integral connector, and a two-piece sensor configuration. A PCB including a heat throttle trace and a heat sink region, and a supply voltage circuit for a Hall Effect sensor including a parallel connected varistor are also provided.

A thin-walled child-proof container is formed entirely in one piece in a molding process. The container has a self-engaging child-proof safety closure between the container and its cover. The cover is attached to the container by a living hinge. A self-aligning tapered self-sealing lip is provided between the cover and the container. The child-proof safety closure comprises a hook retainer with a V-shaped bottom point or edge attached to the container and a flexible tab with a mating bottom V-shaped hook attached to the cover. The cover further comprises a visual indicator on an outer surface of the cover, adjacent to the tab. The visual indicator indicates a compression point to be contacted to compress the cover and the visual indicator further indicates a direction in which the tab must be moved to release the V-shaped hook of the tab from the V-shaped point of the hook retainer.
