Abstract
A hand tool (10), including: a handle (14) at a handle end (16) of an elongated main body (12); an arcuate shaped contact surface (20) on a base end (22) of the elongated main body opposite the handle end; a support strut (35) extending laterally from the elongated main body; and a connection structure (26) disposed at a distal end of the support strut, between the handle end and the arcuate shaped contact surface. The handle is positioned on a concave side (18) of the arcuate shaped contact surface along a line (50) perpendicular to a tangent (52) of the arcuate shaped contact surface, and the perpendicular line traverses a middle 80% of the arcuate shaped contact surface.

A hand tool, comprising:
- a handle at a handle end of an elongated main body;
- a contact surface on a base end of the elongated main body opposite the handle end;
- a puller body extending laterally from the elongated main body;
- and
- a connection structure disposed at a distal end of the puller body, between the handle end and the contact surface;
- the hand tool effective to permit a range of motion of the handle and the connection structure within a plane, the range of motion including:
- a hand tool neutral position where the handle is disposed in a handle neutral position directly above a pivot point on the contact surface and where the connection structure is in a connection structure neutral position,
- a hand tool first position where the handle is disposed on a first side of the handle neutral position and in a handle first position that is vertically lower than the handle neutral position, and where the connection structure is in a connection structure first position vertically higher than the connection structure neutral position, and
- a hand tool second position where the handle is disposed on a second side of the handle neutral position and the handle and the connection structure are in respective second positions that are vertically lower than respective neutral positions.
A hand tool, comprising:
- a handle at a handle end of an elongated main body;
- an arcuate shaped contact surface on a base end of the elongated main body opposite the handle end;
- a support strut extending laterally from the elongated main body;
- and
- a connection structure disposed at a distal end of the support strut, between the handle end and the arcuate shaped contact surface;
- wherein the handle is positioned on a concave side of the arcuate shaped contact surface along a line perpendicular to a tangent of the arcuate shaped contact surface, and
- wherein the perpendicular line traverses a middle 80% of the arcuate shaped contact surface.
