20130081519 | Phillips line jipper - Disclosed is an open-end line socket tool that can be used to tighten or loosen a hexagonal line nut in a hydraulic line fitting. The tool body includes sidewalls defining a hexagonal outer cross section perpendicular to its length and an open interior volume extending the length of the tool body and through a sidewall thereof. The open interior volume includes (i) a hexagonal recess at one end of the tool body, the hexagonal recess being sized and shaped to receive a hexagonal line nut, and (ii) a channel adjacent the hexagonal recess and extending to an opposing end of the tool body, the channel being sized and shaped to accommodate a hydraulic line passing from the open interior volume to an exterior of the tool body. The tool body sidewalls include an interior sidewall shoulder defining a contraction in the open interior volume from the hexagonal recess to the channel. Two opposing flexible sidewalls of the tool body are capable of tightening when the tool is used with a wrench to tighten or loosen a hexagonal line nut, thereby improving the connection thereto. | 04-04-2013 |
