  • Patent number: 6691417
    Abstract: A pruner attachment apparatus includes a body releasably attachable to a shoe of a power tool of the type having a reciprocating saw blade. The body includes a front face for engaging a workpiece. The pruner attachment apparatus further includes a hook member for engaging the workpiece. The hook member is laterally spaced from the saw blade of the tool and is mounted to the body for movement along a path between a first position and a second position. The path includes an upper curvilinear portion configured such that movement of the hook member from the first position to the second position positions the hook member completely behind an imaginary line in a common plane with the front face. A biasing mechanism biases the hook member to the second position.
