A foldable and retractable ratchet wrench comprised of a ¼ inch driver end that manually folds down when not in use; a ⅜ inch fixed driver end; a ratchet arm that folds and locks to various angular positions; an exterior, knurled handle that pivotally folds outward and a cylindrical hollow tube embodiment that extends and retracts from the solid arm. The ¼ inch square driver end is housed within a horizontal square slot provided at an extending shank portion of the ratcheting gear. The ¼ inch square driver end swivels up substantially at right angle from the plane of the ratcheting head. The ratchet wrench's outer pivoted handle folds outward and is pivoted by a pivotal pin substantially at right angle. The slideable sub-tube arm is guided by a pin that rides along a longitudinal slot of said slideable sub-tube arm for various torque needs and is secured by a spring induced detent ball that seats vertically within the solid arm. The entire ratcheting arm swivels from a substantial at right angle to varied angles for ease in limited working spaces. |

A tool handle includes a cavity to receive a T-handle tool. When the tool handle is placed on the T-handle tool, the tool handle provides a better grip of the tool handle to apply greater torque. The tool handle includes a protrusion which is able to detachably couple with the T-handle tool. Once coupled with the T-handle tool, the tool handle is able to be grasped by a user to rapidly turn the T-handle tool. In some embodiments, the T-handle tool includes an added tool. A tool container is able to store T-handle tools and the tool handle. The tool container includes a locking mechanism to lock the tools in place and a tamper prevention mechanism to ensure the locking mechanism is not tampered with while the tool container is in the store. |

A torque wrench for use in driving fasteners is provided. The wrench includes an electronics unit disposed within a housing engaged with the body of the wrench that is capable of sensing and measuring the torque applied to a fastener by the wrench and providing an output of the level of torque to the user. The data sensed by the electronics unit can be utilized to provide feedback to the user regarding the operation of the wrench, and to monitor the overall operation of the wrench for calibration purposes, among other functions. During use, the wrench can provide the user with visual, audible and tactile feedback regarding the operation of the device relative to stored maximum torque values stored in the electronics unit. The housing for the electronics unit can be formed to be a single use component of the tool or can be designed for multiple uses with a configuration that can be engaged with cradles forming the body of the wrench having various different configurations. |

A wrench, such as a pipe wrench, has an adjustable handle that allows a user to work past obstructions without requiring the user to remove the pipe wrench grips from an object. The wrench includes a wrench body having a typical pipe wrench adjustment mechanism. The wrench body further includes a slot through which a handle can be slid such that torque can be applied to the object secured by the wrench jaws through the handle when the handle is positioned above the jaws, below the jaws, or, for a two-handed, push-pull action, when the handle extends both above and below the jaws. The handle can have removable end caps, allowing the handle to be changed for various applications. Similarly, the upper jaw and lower jaw of the wrench can be removed and replaced for various applications. |
