The nozzle holder is movable between a first position and a second position. A first nozzle is coupled to the nozzle holder and a second nozzle is coupled to the nozzle holder. The texture sprayer is configured to discharge the texture spray along a spray axis through the first nozzle when the nozzle holder is in the first position and to discharge the texture spray along the spray axis through the second nozzle when the nozzle holder is in the second position.

Abstract: A clincher tool including a body including a first face and a second face substantially perpendicular to the first face. The clincher tool further includes an anvil slidably coupled to the body, the anvil being coupled to a first finger and a second finger, the anvil being movable between a first position and a second position. The first finger being movable inwardly in a direction from the first face towards the second face and the second finger being movable inwardly in a direction from the second face towards the first face, providing a force to clinch a corner bead to a corner. An impacting member is coupled to the body and configured to impact the anvil for moving the first finger and the second finger to clinch the corner bead.

Abstract: A pocket hole jig includes base with a base plate and first and second lateral side walls extending along the base plate, and a body disposed between the first and second lateral side walls and slidable along the base in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The body includes a drill bit aperture angled downward toward the base plate. The pocket hole jig also includes a fence movable between a raised position and a lowered position and having a contact surface engageable with an end of the workpiece when the fence is in the lowered position to position the base a predetermined distance from the end of the workpiece. The contact surface is in a first position when the fence is in the raised position and a second position when the fence is in the lowered position. The second position is forward of the first position.

Abstract: A pocket hole jig for locating pocket holes in a workpiece includes a base with a base plate and first and second side walls extending along the base plate, and a body disposed between the first and second side walls and slidable along the base in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The body includes a drill bit aperture angled downward toward the base plate. The pocket hole jig also includes a fastener configured to releasably couple the pocket hole jig to an adjacent second pocket hole jig.

Abstract: A sander may include a base with first and second opposite ends and a first retention mechanism rotatably connected to the base. A longitudinal axis may be defined between the first end and the second end. A first groove may be disposed on one side of the longitudinal axis. The first retention mechanism may include a first retaining segment extending over a majority of a length of the first end. The first retention mechanism may further include a first actuating member extending from the retaining segment toward the second end. The first actuating member may be removably retained in the first groove. Actuation of the first actuating member may move the first retaining segment relative to the base for facilitating sandpaper insertion or removal.
