During the manual assembly of any product in a manufacturing environment, the people who actually perform the assembly in most cases use either air or electric powered tools with various attachments i.e. extensions, sockets or screw driver bits to complete their work. Over recent years through Ergonomic research, it has been found that the vibration resulting from the looseness in the connections between the tools and these attachments is causing injuries to the production personnel who are continually being exposed to this vibration. These injuries are adding a great deal of cost to the manufacturing process as a result of employee lost time incidents. The invention I am seeking to patent is a simple nylon or aluminum collar type mechanism that fits snugly over the body of the tool with a fastening mechanism to hold it in place. The front of the collar containing a bearing slides over the attached extension and then by means of a taper thread lock mechanism is tightened securely to the extension. This mechanism completely removes the vibration at the joint between the tool and the extension which results when the tool is operated. Injuries will be reduced, tools will last longer and quality will increase.
