Abstract:
A multi-purpose bar for use with interchangeable tool attachments is described. The bar includes a high strength-to-weight ratio design, providing a tool ideal for military, first- responder emergency scenarios, mountaineering, aerospace, and the like. The bar includes a hole for attaching a carabiner and universal connectors, such as snap joint fasteners, for quick interchangeability of tool attachments. A kit including the multi-purpose bar and at least two tool attachments is also described. The two tool attachments are preferably configured to removeably couple to one another, thus providing a third tool.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an impact tool. The impact tool includes a handle, and the handle includes a hollow portion. The impact tool also includes an impact portion for impacting with a surface or object, with the impact portion being located at one or both ends of the handle. The impact tool further includes a moveable material, which may be housed within the hollow portion of the handle. The moveable material is adapted or able to move along the hollow portion of the handle during use of the impact tool. The moveable material may serve to increase the momentum associated with the use of the impact tool and/or to reduce the jarring effect associated with the use of the impact tool.
Abstract:
At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may be a combination tool apparatus that comprises a first tool part having a first plier jaw and a second tool part having a second plier jaw rotatable relative to an axis of rotation; compressive grip surfaces; a hammer head; a wire cutter element; a wire stripper element; and a handle. In certain of the many embodiments, the hammer head may be established within certain dimensional constraints relative to other part(s) of the tool, and/or the apparatus may not comprise a nail pulling claw.
Abstract:
Provided is a tool that includes a handle assembly including a top portion and a bottom portion. The tool also includes a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge. The tool additionally includes a blade having first and second ends, an indent in a bottom surface of the blade near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade.
Abstract:
Striking tools are disclosed that include an aluminum head. Striking surfaces may be securely attached to the head by a bushing or other means. In this way, light weight striking tools may be made with greater durability.

Abstract:
A tool includes a blade with a working end and a handle end opposite the working end, a handle secured to the handle end and having a blade end and a hammer end, a hammer secured to the hammer end and having a body made of a relatively hard, lightweight polymeric material.
Abstract:
A multi-purpose tool and tool attachments have been described. The multi-purpose tool comprises a utility bar that has an elongated structural member partly covered by an overmold, and universal connectors on its two ends. The cross section of the elongated member is crossed-shaped and has a plurality of recesses, which helps to optimize the weight-to-strength ratio of the bar. The universal connectors are male and female snap-fit engagements that allow for different tool attachments to be quickly and easily attached to the ends of the bar in both a right-hand and left-hand orientation. The connectors also allow several utility bars to be connected in series to make a longer utility bar. The tool attachments comprise a handle-hammer-pick attachment, a shovel head counterweight, a spear head, an extractor attachment, a breaching tool attachment, and a monopod sniper attachment. Each tool attachment is designed to have multiple functions.
Abstract:
A safety hammer (1) for breaking glass, comprises a housing (2) com¬ prising at least two shell parts (2a, 2b); a hammer head (3) having at least one end (4) for breaking the glass, wherein the hammer head (3) is at least partly enclosed by the shell parts (2a, 2b) such that the at least one end (4) of the hammer head (3) extends outside the housing (2); wherein the hammer head (3) is arranged for cooperation with the shell parts (2a, 2b) for fastening the shell parts (2a, 2b) via the ham¬ mer head (3). A safety tool holder comprises a base holder element and at least one intermediate holder element arranged for removable coupling to the base holder element at one end and for removable coupling to a safety tool at another end; wherein the intermediate holder element is provided with a single connecting element for removable connection to the safety tool.
