    Abstract: Various storage units that stack with other units, such as in a modular system, are provided. The storage units couple within a modular system via coupling interfaces on the top and/or bottom surfaces that couple the storage units to other units in the modular system. The storage units include a cover and a latch, the cover restricting one or more drawers from being opened. In a specific embodiment, the cover is slidably stored within the housing of the storage unit. The storage unit includes one or more internal storage compartments defined at least in part by the one or more drawers.

    Abstract: A tool, such as a conduit bender, that includes a gear assembly for providing a mechanical advantage when bending a workpiece conduit. The gear assembly comprises a pinion gear rotatably coupled to a handle, the handle including a pin that can be selectively engaged with the pinion gear. The conduit bender also includes a shoe with teeth that protrude radially inward from a curved outer portion. When the conduit bender is in use, the teeth of the pinion gear engage with the teeth of the shoe.

    Abstract: A transportation device configured to detachably engage with units, such as modular units, is provided. The transportation device is configured to actuate between an open position and a closed position. In the open position the transportation device is configured to couple to and help move one or more units, such as modular units. In the closed position, the transportation device is configured to engage with units, such as modular units, for easier movement of the transportation device.

    Abstract: A wheel that deforms to absorb force is provided. The wheel includes one or more deformable spokes that extend from a central portion of the wheel to an outer portion of the wheel. The spokes are configured to interface against neighboring spokes after a spoke is sufficiently deformed. The neighboring spoke provides some support to the deformed spoke, thereby requiring an increased marginal force to further deform the first spoke. In one embodiment the wheel includes a plurality of pairs of spokes that are configured to interface against each other.
