Abstract
Description
[0001] Hook wrenches are currently used to open and close the pin nut on the first stage of a regulator. However, using hook wrenches can repeatedly damage the pin nuts due to the wrench slipping.
[0002] The existing hook wrenches only partially surround the face nut.
[0003] The new tool completely encloses the pin nut. When the tool is applied, a spring-loaded pin engages securely in the pin nut's hole, preventing slippage. This allows the pin nut to be opened and closed without damage.
