This is the tool missing from every tool kit...

[eduardofastertool]

Hi there, I am one of those people who have been working with tools since we were kids, I spend years looking for that special tool that would allow me to remove and install fasteners easier and quicker when my power tools were not available, for example, on a road trip, when sailing, etc.

I had always carried one of those tool kits that comes with different ratchet wrenches and sockets, bit and bit drivers, etc. these kits are very useful and can get you out of a lot of trouble, HOWEVER, removing or installing screws with these tools when working in hard-to-reach places is always a difficult task and takes a lot of time, this is why, a few years ago, I decided to create my on tool that solves this problem.

This tool is a small and light piece that connects directly between the ratchet wrench and the socket or between the bit driver and the bit and will give us four important advantages:

• Will allow us to change the direction of the movement needed for the ratchet wrench to work in 90 degrees, this means that if we are removing a screw located between others obstacles and the ratchet don’t have enough space to work, using this tool we will change the direction in which the ratchet moves getting more room to work.
• This tool can multiply the rotation speed of the socket or bit, which allow us to finish the job in half the time.
• This tool will prevent the ratchet from stopping working once the screw is too loose, therefore, we will not have to end up unscrewing the fasteners by hand which is very uncomfortable specially when working in tiny spot.
• 4- This tool can be used as a right-angle tool, it will allow us to reach the heads of those screws located in hard-to-reach places easier than when working with regular tools only.

This ability, added to the ability of multiply the working speed and the ability of keep working until the job is done, no matter how loose the screw is, makes it a very useful tool that should be included in every tool kit.

To move this forward, I’m looking for some advice or guidance of how to find and contact a company interested in developing this tool, since I’m not able to do it myself. I have a refine working prototype and two working patents, I would appreciate any idea. Thanks.

Best regards

Sounds like an excuse to buy some tools so you can make a tool. Tis the GJ way.



Good luck on your endeavor

Fast cap loves these out there kind of things. If it legitimately has a purpose, they might be game.

Sounds unrealistic to me, but i wish you the best of luck

Hi mike, my tool is more like a ratcheting wrench to work with sockets and bits but i appreciate your help

working patents

Not sure what a working patent is - if you mean that a patent has been issued, please share the patent numbers. If you mean that you are working towards obtaining a patent, meaning that you have filed provisional or utility applications, don’t share any details until the application has been published.

In any event, consult a patent marketing firm that, for a fee, can shop your invention with tool manufacturers for a licensing agreement.

good luck.

not at all, my tool can be inserted between this ratchet and the bit, then will make this ratchet works as a right angle tool, will multiply the speed of the bit and will prevent the ratchet to stopping working when the screw gets too loose.... and will change the direction of the movement needed for the ratchet to work in 90 degrees, you won't hit the obstacles around the screw head anymore

no, i mean something that you can add to this ratchet and will give it four new features

If your doodad is added between the ratchet & the bit it will restrict the spaces it can fit into.
The ratchet in the link I posted can be used in the usual sense, or by pushing/pulling on the handle in a linear fashion.
Aircraft mechanics have all sorts of doodads for removing/instaling screws in restricted spaces.

 

[eduardofastertool]

sorry for not being able to give much information about this tool at this time, I'm just trying to see if anyone can advise me on how i should approach companies that might be interested in bringing this tool to the market.

actually some of my friends are aircraft mechanics and aircraft owners, they are the ones who really needs this tool the most

 

[eduardofastertool]

my tool can redirect the movement of the ratchet, can multiply the rotation speed of the socket, can avoid the ratchet wrench from stopping working when the screw is too loose and can be used as a right angle tool in difficult situations....and more

 

[eduardofastertool]

my intentions were to manufacture it and develop it myself but for personal reasons I will no longer able to do so

Aircraft owners are the LAST people who need to be around tools

change direction of ratchet? you mean like a flex round head ratchet so you an move the handle to any angle?

how is it going to multiply speed? sounds like its going to need a gear set and you would need to hold the middle part still to get it to work. So you would need two hands to use (one to hold the ratchet and one to hold the gear set), then how do you hold the fastener. seems like it would be clumsy and bulky and not fit into tight spaces.

avoid stop working when screw is too loose? you mean a ratchet with no back drag?

 

[eduardofastertool]

you'll be surprise ! small craft owners are usually very interested in the maintenance by themself

no clumsy, no bulky, just the right tool to fit into tight spaces

I know, I've fixed a bunch of their screw ups.

thanks body, I'm sending the info right away

Do you have a working version?

 

[eduardofastertool]

Do you have a working version?

yes i do...
-it is a great idea for a small aircraft! from the small bolts on the exhaust bushings to the mounting bolts on the carburetor....don't know how we ever did it before this tool..... (this is a comment that one of my clients who owns two small aircraft just send me)

Care to share a photo? Sounds interesting

i would love to share a photo or video!!! but unfortunately I can't at this moment, hopefully you will see this tool on the shelves very soon

This specialty tool company https://caseytool.com/ belonged to a friend that recently passed. Milton now owns it.
My friend was always searching for specialty tools and worked with inventors to get things to market.
My guess is that Milton would carry on with that program.

Some already mentioned, but maybe: Lisle, Tekton, Vim, Astro Pneumatic

I can’t visualize what this tool is supposed to do.

Would it allow me to use a ratchet instead of a wrench on the carburetor intake manifold mounting bolt in this situation?

 

[mike93lx]

I get you can't share the tool, but a picture of an application would be nice to see

Laverda 750?

 

[GeoBruin]

I'm thinking like a "rotator ratchet" head that could be installed between a normal ratchet and a socket.

I grabbed the pic from google, just trying to figure out what it is this tool is supposed to do.

In the United States you have one year from "first public disclosure" to file a patent, or else it's considered public domain. Better get to it, OP, the clock is ticking!

It sounds very much like you're describing one of these.......

.... But with some form of gear reduction and a little backdrag

 

[Beerhippie]

If you're talking about that one tool missing from all my tools boxes....

I WANT IT BACK!

I can just sit and watch one of those turn all day long! They're like lava lamps for tools guys.

You all are bad influences. I really need one of these like I need another hole in my head--but I just bought one.

I'm tempted to rig it up with a small, low-speed motor so I can watch it turn.... Kinetic shop sculpture!

If you've never seen one in action, the bent rods do an intricate little dance as it turns.
