Abstract
A double-sided, detachable tool includes a first tool half and a second tool half. The first tool half has a first tool head on a first end, a first stepped profile on a bottom surface, and a latch protruding from the bottom surface. The second tool half has a second tool head on its first end, a second stepped profile on its bottom surface, and a latching aperture extending through the second tool half from its top side to the bottom side. The latch is inserted into the latching aperture to connect the first tool half to the second tool half and is removed from the latching aperture to detach the first tool half from the second tool half. The transitions from the stepped profiles to the seconds ends of the tool halves create a substantially flush surface therebetween.

A double-sided, detachable tool comprising:
- a first tool half having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a top surface, and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the first tool half comprising:
- a first tool head disposed at the first end of the first tool half,
- a first stepped profile disposed on the bottom surface of the first tool half, and
- a latch disposed on the bottom surface of the first tool half;
- and
- a second tool half having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a top surface, and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the second tool half comprising
- a second tool head disposed at the first end of the second tool half,
- a second stepped profile disposed on the bottom surface of the second tool half, and
- a latching aperture extending through the second tool half from the top side to the bottom side;
- the latch being inserted into the latching aperture to connect the first tool half to the second tool half and being removed from the latching aperture to detach the first tool half from the second tool half;
- and
- when connected, the second end of the first tool half being adjacent to the second stepped profile of the second tool half, wherein the top surface of the first tool half is substantially flush with the second stepped profile of the second tool half, and the second end of the second tool half being adjacent to the first stepped profile of the first tool half, wherein the top surface of the second tool half is substantially flush with the first stepped profile of the first tool half.
