  • Publication number: 20230141730
    Abstract: A cut-off saw includes a housing, a motor supported within the housing, the motor having an output shaft operable at maximum speed greater than 10,000 revolutions per minute, and a battery configured to power the motor. The battery has an output voltage greater than 40 volts. The cut-off saw also includes a drive pulley coupled to the output shaft, a driven pulley connected to the drive pulley by a synchronous belt, and a cutting wheel coupled to the driven pulley. The cutting wheel has a diameter greater than 9 inches.

  • Publication number: 20210331128
    Abstract: A mud mixer includes a tool body, and an electric motor supported by the tool body that is configured to rotate a mixing element about a rotation axis. The mud mixer further includes a first handle fixedly coupled to the tool body and extending from the tool body along a handle axis, a plane angled relative to the rotation axis and defined as an extension of the handle axis, and a second handle rotatably coupled to the tool body about the rotation axis and extending from the tool body in a direction parallel to the plane.

  • Patent number: 11084006
    Abstract: A mud mixer comprises a housing defining a battery mounting portion, an electric motor supported by the housing, a mixing element that selectively receives torque from the motor, causing the mixing element to rotate about a rotation axis, and a battery pack removably coupled to the battery mounting portion for providing power to the electric motor when coupled to the battery mounting portion. When the battery pack is coupled to the battery mounting portion, the rotation axis intersects the battery pack.

  • Publication number: 20180369939
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing and a support arm extending from the housing and defining a longitudinal axis. The support arm includes a first arm portion coupled to the housing and a second arm portion coupled to the first arm portion. The power tool further includes a drive pulley coupled to the first arm portion. The drive pulley defines a first axis. A driven pulley is coupled to the second arm portion and defines a second axis spaced from the first axis. A synchronous belt connects the drive pulley and the driven pulley. The second arm portion is movable relative to the first arm portion between a first configuration and a second configuration offset 180 degrees from the first configuration about the longitudinal axis. A distance between the first axis and the second axis is substantially the same in both the first configuration and the second configuration.
