Patent ID: 7020923

Claim:
An adjustable and multiple working element fastener removal tool comprising, in combination: a body member in the form of an elongate trough with a first end and an opposite second end; a plurality of at least three tool elements, each having a pivot end and a working end and each of substantially equal length, said three elements mounted adjacent the first end of the trough by a pivot pin member, each of said three tool elements being independently pivotal about the pivot pin to thereby expose the working end, each working end being uniquely configured, said tool elements each being pivotal between a storage position in the trough and a working position extending from the trough; a single bifurcated pry tool element pivotally mounted at the second end of the trough, said pry tool element including a pivotal end and a working end, said pivotal end of the pry tool element pivotally retained on the body member by a second pivot pin, said working end of the pry tool element including a wedge shaped section having a bifurcated open end, said pry tool element pivotal between a first position in the trough body member fitting over the three tool elements and a working position, said pry tool element further comprising a first planar section of flat stock with a bottom surface side and a formed loop on the bottom surface side forming said pivot end, said first planar section joined to said wedge shaped section, said wedge shaped section forming a downwardly depending section from the first planar section bottom surface at an angle of about 160° to 175° with respect to the first section; and a biasing member mounted in the body member for engaging the pivot ends of the tool elements for frictionally maintaining the tool elements in a generally fixed pivot position.
