Abstract
A combined nut area cleaner and nut driver tool for manipulating nuts residing in recesses prone to filling with environmental debris. The tool having a body connecting with or forming a handle, a nut (or fastener) driver for connecting with the body and for driving the nut, and a cleaning flange for connecting to the body, this cleaning flange for cleaning the area adjacent the nut before the nut driver engages the nut. Preferably either the nut driver and/or the cleaning flange are able to be retracted in relation to the cleaning flange and/or nut driver.
Claims20
A combined nut area cleaner and nut driver tool comprising:
- a body having an axis, said body extending from a first end to a second end, said first end configured for connection with a handle, said second end for connecting with a nut driver;
- a nut driver connecting to said body, said nut driver having a rim defining an internal portion, said internal portion configured with a suitable polygonal shape for engaging a nut;
- and
- at least one cleaning flange having a cleaning flange edge, said cleaning flange for cleaning the area adjacent said nut before said nut driver engages said nut.
A combined nut area cleaner and nut driver tool comprising:
- a body having an axis, said body extending from a first end to a second end, said first end configured for connection with a handle, said second end for connecting with a nut driver;
- a nut driver connecting to said body, said nut driver having a rim defining an internal portion, said internal portion configured with a suitable polygonal shape for engaging a nut, wherein said nut driver and said body are fixed together;
- and
- at least one cleaning flange having a cleaning flange edge, said cleaning flange for cleaning the area adjacent said nut before said nut driver engages said nut, wherein said at least one cleaning flange can be moved from an extended position where said flange extends past said rim thereby allowing said flange to clean the area adjacent said nut to a retracted position where said nut driver can engage said nut.
A combined nut area cleaner and nut driver tool comprising:
- a body having an axis, said body extending from a first end to a second end, said first end configured for connection with a handle, wherein said first end comprises a square receiving socket for receiving a square boss extending from said handle, said second end for connecting with a nut driver;
- a nut driver connecting to said body, said nut driver having a rim defining an internal portion, said internal portion configured with a pentagonal shape for engaging a pentagonal nut, wherein said nut driver and said body are fixed together;
- and
- a plurality of rigid teeth, said teeth for cleaning the area adjacent said nut before said nut driver engages said nut, wherein teeth can be moved from an extended position where said teeth extend past said rim, thereby allowing said teeth to clean the area adjacent said nut, to a retracted position where said nut driver can engage said nut, wherein a spring is used to bias said teeth in said extended position and in said retracted position.
