Abstract

The fastener drive tool is a hand powered drive device that is used to drive fasteners around an axis. The fastener tool device is formed in the shape of a cylinder. The first end of the fastener drive tool is designed to receive driver bits designed for use with power drills, including, but not limited to, 6 point, 12 point, flat head, Phillips head, and star driver bits and driver bit sets. The second end of the cylinder is designed to receive a square driver bits commonly used for driver sockets. Optionally, the first end and the second end can be fitted with a ratchet device. The fastener drive tool comprises a flexible steel wire, a rubber covering, a woven steel lube, a first driver port, and a second driver port.

Claims (31)

1. A fastener driving tool comprising:

a flexible steel wire, a rubber covering, a hardened flexible woven steel tube, a first driver port, and a second driver port;

wherein the fastener driving tool is adapted for use with driver bits adapted for use with power tools;

wherein the fastener driving tool is adapted for use with square driver bits for use with driver sockets;

wherein the fastener driving tool is further defined with a first end and a second end.

2. The fastener driving tool according to claim 1 wherein

the first driver port is magnetized;

wherein the second driver port is magnetized.

3. The fastener driving tool according to claim 2 wherein the flexible steel wire is a metal cylinder braided from a first plurality of steel wires.

4. The fastener driving tool according to claim 3 wherein the design of the flexible steel wire provides for an elasticity that allows the flexible steel wire to bend slightly along the center axis of the metal cylinder.

5. The fastener driving tool according to claim 4 wherein

the design of the flexible steel wire provides for an elasticity that allows the flexible steel wire to twist around the center axis of the metal cylinder;

wherein the flexible steel wire is further defined with a third end and a fourth end.

6. The fastener driving tool according to claim 5 wherein

the first driver port is attached to the third end of the flexible steel wire;

wherein the second driver port is attached to the fourth end of the flexible wire.

7. The fastener driving tool according to claim 6 wherein the first driver port is attached to the third end.

8. The fastener driving tool according to claim 7 wherein the first driver port is designed to receive and securely hold driver bits designed for use with power tools.

9. The fastener driving tool according to claim 8 wherein the first driver port is sized to receive 0.250 or 0.375 inch driver bits.

10. The fastener driving tool according to claim 7 wherein the second driver port is attached to the fourth end of the flexible steel wire.

11. The fastener driving tool according to claim 10 wherein the second driver port is a port that is designed to receive and securely hold square driver bits.

12. The fastener driving tool according to claim 11 wherein the second driver port is sized to receive 0.25 or 0.50 square driver bits.

13. The fastener driving tool according to claim 10 wherein

the first drive port is fitted with a first ratchet device;

wherein the second drive port is fitted with a second ratchet device.

14. The fastener driving tool according to claim 10 wherein the exterior faces of the flexible steel wire, the first driver port, and the second driver port are covered in a rubber covering such that the rubber covering does not cover the first end or the second end.

15. The fastener driving tool according to claim 14 wherein

the diameter of the second end is greater than the diameter of the first end;

wherein along the flexible steel wire, at a point that is a distance from the fourth end of between 20% and 40% of the overall length of the flexible steel wire, the diameter of the second face tapers down to match the diameter of the first face.

16. The fastener driving tool according to claim 15 wherein the outer surface of the rubber cover has embedded in it a hardened flexible steel tube.

17. The fastener driving tool according to claim 16 wherein the hardened flexible steel tube is a flexible tube that is woven from a second plurality of steel wires.
