Abstract

A hammer wrench assembly and method of use that includes a safety handle for use with a hammer wrench. The hammer wrench is fitted with a female coupling. The safety handle is fitted with a male coupling adapted to mate with the female coupling. The male coupling is pivotally coupled to the safety handle so that the handle can be rotated up to 180°. The hammer wrench assembly can be used by one user or two users. With two users, one user can swing the hammer while the other use can steady the hammer wrench with the safety handle.

Claims (19)

1. An improved hammer wrench comprising:

a hammer-end having a plurality of impact surfaces;

a wrench-end adapted to attach to a bolt head or nut; and,

a central bar member with one end integrally formed with the hammer-end, with another end attached to the wrench-end and with a female coupler between the wrench-end and the hammer-end wherein the female coupler is in close proximity to the wrench-end wherein:

said central bar member has a longitudinal axis;

said wrench-end has a center axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and,

said female coupler has a center axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

2. An improved hammer wrench comprising:

a hammer wrench with a hammer-end, a wrench-end and a central bar member, said central bar member having a first end, a second end opposite said first end, and a longitudinal axis wherein said hammer-end is integral with said first end and said wrench-end is coupled directly to said second end and has a center axis that is perpendicular to said longitudinal axis; and,

a coupling means formed in said central bar member between said hammer-end and said wrench-end for removably coupling a handle to said hammer wrench wherein said coupling means has a center axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis.

3. The improved hammer wrench of claim 2 , wherein said coupling means comprises a female fitting for receiving a mated male fitting attached to said handle.

4. The improved hammer wrench of claim 2 , wherein the wrench-end comprises a multi-sided bore hole.

5. A hammer wrench assembly comprising:

a hammer wrench with a hammer-end, a wrench-end and a central bar member, said central bar member having a first end, a second end opposite said first end, and a longitudinal axis wherein said hammer-end is integral with said first end and said wrench-end is coupled directly to said second end and has a center axis that is perpendicular to said longitudinal axis;

a safety holding means for holding said hammer wrench at a safe distance; and,

coupling means for removably coupling said safety holding means to said hammer wrench in close proximity to said wrench-end and between said hammer-end and said wrench-end wherein said coupling means has a center axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis.

6. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein said coupling means comprises a receiving means for receiving a mated fitting means attached to said safety holding means.

7. The assembly of claim 6 , wherein said receiving means has a mounting face which faces in a same direction as a wrench-end face of the wrench-end.

8. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein said safety holding means comprises means for attaching handles for use with socket sets to items in socket sets; and said coupling means comprises a receiving means for receiving said attaching means.
