Abstract: A tape measure includes a housing with first and second housing portions; a reel configured to be secured between the first and second housing portions, the reel containing a tape blade wound thereon and partially extending therefrom terminating in a hook portion; and an integral component coupled to the first and second housing portions, including an aperture defining a finger brake, the finger brake exposing the tape blade for engagement by a user. The tape blade is biased to retract into the housing, winding around the reel, such that in a fully retracted position the hook portion abuts the portion of the mouth of the tape measure. In an extended position the tape blade is unwound from the reel such that the hook extends away from the integral component. An integral component including an aperture defining a tape measure mouth and a light emitter receiving slot is also disclosed.

Abstract: A utility knife includes a handle base and a neck connected to the handle base for pivotal movement relative to the handle base between a closed position and an open position. The knife also includes a utility blade holder slidingly carried by the neck for sliding movement relative to the neck between a retracted position and an extended position. A utility blade is carried by the blade holder such that movement of the utility blade holder between its extended and retracted positions moves the utility blade between an exposed position in which a cutting edge of the blade is exposed, and a protected position in which the cutting edge of the blade is protected by the neck.

Abstract: A tape measure comprises a housing containing a tape, spring, reel, and hub, with first seal(s) to seal between the reel cartridge and the hub and/or to seal between the reel and the housing and/or a part fixed to the housing. An outermost coil of the spring may extend out of an opening in the reel and be attached to an innermost coil of the tape, and a second seal may be provided on the reel, to seal between the spring and the reel where the spring extends from the reel. Alternatively, the spring may be contained within the reel, and an outermost coil of the spring may be attached to an interior of the reel. An exterior of the reel may include an attachment portion to which an innermost coil of the tape is attached. The housing may be openable to enable contaminants to be removed from the housing.

Abstract: A striking hand tool includes a grip component where an external surface has a front arc half and a rear arc half, wherein an area of the grip is smaller in a first cross sectional plane further from a head of the tool than a second plane closer to the head portion. A ρ value of the front arc half in the first cross sectional plane is less than approximately 0.45. A measurement from a first axis to a frontmost point in the first cross sectional plane is between 17.5 mm and 19 mm. A ρ value of the front arc half in the second cross sectional plane is less than approximately 0.5. A measurement from the first axis to a frontmost point in the second cross sectional plane is between 18.5 mm and 20 mm. Methods of manufacturing and striking hand tools having desirous durometer measurements are also disclosed.

Abstract: An abrasive belt device includes first and second rollers that accommodate an abrasive belt to define a sanding surface, and a lever usable to modify a distance between the rollers. The abrasive belt device also defines an opening through which the belt passes during installation or removal. In a first lever position, the rollers are separated by a first distance that allows the installation or the removal of the belt, and the opening is not covered by the lever, thereby permitting a portion of the belt to pass through the opening. In a second lever position, the rollers are separated by a second distance, greater than the first distance, that inhibits the installation or the removal of the belt, and the opening is covered by a portion of the lever, thereby inhibiting any portions of the belt from passing through the opening.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a tool container system includes a container with base and cover pivotably attached by a hinge, base and cover locking members, and a latch moveable between unlatched and latched positions to allow or prevent movement of the cover relative to the base. The system also includes a utility knife blade retainer configured to be received in and held by the container, the retainer configured to define a generally trapezoidal shape and contact multiple faces of blades received therein. The retainer comprises an engagement feature to engage with the container to limit movement of the retainer. In another embodiment, a knife blade retainer is configured to be received in a container. The retainer includes a generally trapezoidal shape defined therein to contact multiple faces of a trapezoidal shape of blades received therein. An engagement feature engages with the container to limit movement of the retainer within the container.

Abstract: A chalk reel includes a housing defining a chalk chamber and an opening from the chalk chamber; a spool positioned within the chalk chamber; and a line wound on the spool and extending through the opening, the line having a width of dimension X. The spool comprises an axial hub and a sidewall. The sidewall comprises a plurality of apertures extending through the sidewall from a first face distal from the axial hub to a second face proximal to the axial hub. Each of the plurality of apertures having a maximum width of dimension Y. The dimension Y is less than or approximately equal to twice the dimension X.
