Abstract: A drill bit includes a shank defining a longitudinal axis and a cutting edge extending radially outward relative to the longitudinal axis. The cutting edge is configured to remove material from a workpiece along a cutting path during a cutting operation. The drill bit further includes a plurality of scoring elements positioned within the cutting path and configured to contact the workpiece before the cutting edge during the cutting operation.

Abstract: A step drill bit including a shank extending along a bit axis and a body having a proximal end adjacent the shank and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The body includes a bit tip adjacent the distal end. The bit tip includes a diameter in a direction perpendicular to the bit axis. The body defines a plurality of axially stacked, progressively sized steps including a first step adjacent and a terminal step. Each step of the plurality of steps defines a length and a diameter. The step drill bit also includes at least one flute in the body. Each flute extends from the distal end to the proximal end. The step drill bit includes a cutting edge on the flute. A ratio of the diameter of the bit tip to the length for a majority of the plurality of steps is in a range from 1.0 to 1.5.

Abstract: A die for a pipe threading operation includes a body portion formed of a first material, and a tooth portion coupled to the body portion and formed of a second material that is different than the first material. The tooth portion having a plurality of teeth.

Abstract: An angled adapter for coupling a tool bit to a tool includes a housing and a transmission assembly positioned in the housing. The transmission assembly is configured to convert an input torque about a first axis from the tool to an output torque about a second axis acting on the tool bit. The second axis is disposed at an angle relative to the first axis. The angled adapter also includes a shank supported by the housing and including a tool coupling portion configured to couple to the tool. The tool coupling portion has an outer dimension. The shank also includes a transmission coupling portion coupled to the transmission assembly, and an intermediate portion extending between the tool coupling portion and the transmission coupling portion. The intermediate portion has a diameter that is less than the outer dimension.

Abstract: A drive guide connectable to a power tool includes a shank, a barrel, and a sleeve. The shank includes a tool coupling portion and a barrel coupling portion. The barrel is coupled to the barrel coupling portion of the shank. The barrel includes a bit coupling portion configured to couple to a tool bit. The barrel also includes a first depth indicium disposed on a surface of the barrel and a second depth indicium disposed on the surface of the barrel. The second depth indicium is circumferentially spaced about the barrel from the first depth indicium. The sleeve is disposed concentrically about and slidable along the barrel. An edge of the sleeve provides a visual indicator to determine depth based on the first and second depth indicia.
