Patent number: 9475180Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a motor, an output member driven by the motor, and a reaming attachment coupled to the output member. The reaming attachment has a front end portion selectively driven in rotation by the output member to drive a fastener into a workpiece, and a reaming portion selectively driven in rotation by the output member to remove material from an end surface of a conduit. A rotational motion sensor in the housing is operable to detect rotational motion of the housing about an axis. A controller receives a signal indicative of rotational motion from the sensor, determines a direction of the rotational motion of the housing, and drives the motor in a direction corresponding to the direction of rotational motion of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Scott J.

Publication number: 20140284070Abstract: A handheld power tool is configured to receive an input indicative of a clutch setting for an electronic clutch from the tool operator, where the clutch setting is selectable from a drill mode and a drive mode. In a drill mode, torque applied to the output spindle is ignored; whereas, in the drive mode, the torque applied to the output spindle is monitored and interrupted in an automated manner by a controller when a fastener being driven reaches a desired stopping position. Display states of the interface components of the tool may be set in accordance with current tool conditions and/or various triggering conditions. One such interface component is the input used to set the operating mode (e.g., clutch setting) of the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventors: Wong Kun Ng, Oleksiy P.
