Embodiment Construction

[0030] The subject tool system is useful for engaging (eg, loosening or tightening) various fixtures and hardware and, in particular, for turning a sink nut (eg, turning a sink nut to attach a faucet element to a countertop). The tool system is also useful in many other applications, such as tightening 7 / 8 inch supply line nuts, plastic wing supply nuts, 1 inch supply line nuts (and nuts with other, eg metric sizes) and supply line shut-off valve. Therefore, this topic should not be limited to wrenches used to loosen sink nuts, but should be interpreted broadly.

[0031] figure 1 A typical vanity faucet assembly 10 is schematically depicted attached to a countertop 22 . Faucet assembly 10 includes faucets or controls 12 , 14 that generally control the flow of hot and cold water through supply lines, such as supply line 38 . The faucet assembly 10 also includes threaded members 16, 18 extending through the deck. Basin nuts 24 , 26 engage threaded members 16 , 18 . As is kn...

Abstract

A multi-purpose hand tool system is described. The tool system includes a handle and one or more inserts that are releasably engaged with the handle. The tool system is useful for a variety of applications including use with a basin and faucet hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] This topic concerns a multipurpose tool system. The tool system is directed to hand tools in general, and is used in particular for hand tools such as sink wrenches and faucet wrenches. Background technique [0002] Basin wrenches or special installation tools are used to secure various kitchen or bathroom faucets, hoses, spray hoses and / or related components. Faucet mounting hardware is often located in a tight area under a kitchen or bathroom sink. Accordingly, such hardware is difficult to access with a conventional common wrench or wrench. [0003] A wide variety of mounting hardware is used in this field, such as plastic wing nuts, hex nuts of different sizes, Phillips and flat head screws. Additionally, the type of mounting hardware and method of installation can vary between different faucet manufacturers. [0004] To be effective, a basin wrench or faucet wrench should be relatively compact, enabling the wrench to be used in tight spaces an...
