Manufactured by Beaver Tool Co. - Huntington NY

"This invention relates to finger tip wrenches comprising a finger embracing portion and a nut engaging portion positioned relative to each other whereby the finger tip of the user can readily position and hold a nut on a bolt in hard to reach places." Spring action of the bent sheet metal forming the sides of the socket along with surrounding resilient material helps hold hex nuts in place in these. The patent number appears on the print material accompanying sets of "Touch 'N' Hold" fingertip wrenches. These were available several years prior to this patent, and may have evolved from Faso's earlier patent 2,585,641. Patent nos. 1,524,869, 2,611,953, 2,735,321 and GB-564,439 are cited as references.

Manufactured by Stanley Tools - New Britain CT

Abstract: "An improved dual action indexable wrench having a moment arm connected to a wrench body which can be operated in a first configuration to apply force directly and in a second configuration to apply force by reciprocal motion, which can be readily switched between the two configurations by engaging and disengaging a shoulder on the wrench body having a v-shaped notch and a corresponding leading edge on the handle having square corners dimensioned to be received within the notch on the shoulder." A correspondent notes this design followed an earlier version and subsequent related patents, some of which were the basis for patent infringement lawsuits (viz. 4,406,186, 5,419,221 and 5,775,184). This patent was used in the STANLEY No. 89-808 ratchet. Prior patents 1,417,338, 1,564,442, 1,764,379, 1,822,428, 4,334,445, 4,406,186, 4,688,454, 4,805,494, 5,419,221, 5,694,818, 5,775,184 and 5,941,141 are cited as references.
