    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A door system includes a header having a guide rail that has a central portion having a notch. A panel hanger is slidably coupled to the header. A door panel has a handle end portion releasably coupled to the panel hanger and a pivot end portion pivotably coupled to the panel hanger. The panel hanger and the door panel slide in unison between a closed position and a fully open position along a longitudinal plane. An interlock plate is positioned to extend upwardly from the door panel, and has a downwardly extending guide slot that slidably receives the guide rail of the header. When the door panel is in the fully open position, the interlock plate is aligned with the notch of the guide rail of the header in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal plane to facilitate a pivoting of the door panel away from the longitudinal plane.

    摘要: A level comprising a level body and a bubble vial mounted on the level body. The bubble vial includes a bubble vial body comprising a clear material and an internal cavity containing a liquid. A top opening in the level body that interrupts at least a portion of a top wall to accommodate the bubble vial. An internal support structure disposed within the tubular configuration of the level body and spanning longitudinally along the level body so as to be disposed on both sides of the top opening to provide structural support to the level body in the vicinity of the top opening. A carrier positioned beneath the bubble vial and between the internal support structure and the bubble vial. The bubble vial body has a length that is less than a length of the top opening in the top wall of the level body.
