  • Publication number: 20220168870
    Abstract: A rotary tool including a tool body defining an axis extending between a rear end and an opposite working end, a motor configured to receive power from a power source, a drive shaft coupled to the motor with the motor, a chuck coupled to the drive shaft, and an axial adjustment mechanism. The axial adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment shaft having an axial end defining a floor of the chuck, where the floor limits an insertion depth within the chuck, and where the adjustment shaft is movable in a direction parallel to the axis between a first position defining a first insertion depth and a second position defining a second insertion depth.

  • Publication number: 20220133025
    Abstract: A power tool includes a power head receiving power from a power source. A drive coupled to the power head extends along a longitudinal axis, and the drive is engaged with a connector. Various aspects relate to the connector. The connector includes an internal bore configured to couple to the drive to a shank of a working tool. The connector further includes an external lobe protruding radially outward from the longitudinal axis, the lobe having a locking mechanism configured to secure the second working tool in response to relative movement between the lobe and the second working tool in both an axial direction and a rotational direction.

  • Publication number: 20220134534
    Abstract: A modular work station includes a platform supporting a stem, a power tool coupled to the stem and supported for movement relative to the stem, and a table removably coupled to the platform. The table includes a first working surface and a second working surface opposite the first working surface. The table is further selectively coupled to the platform in a first orientation and a second orientation. The first working surface faces toward the power tool while the table is in the first orientation, and the second working surface faces toward the power tool while the table is in the second orientation.

  • Publication number: 20220032445
    Abstract: A workbench-hand truck assembly includes a first pair of legs, a frame, a second pair of legs pivotally coupled to the frame and to the first pair of legs, a workbench configured to be supported by the first and second pairs of legs, a pair of brackets pivotally coupled to the first pair of legs, and a nose plate pivotally coupled to the pair of brackets for movement between a stored position, in which the nose plate extends parallel to and adjacent the workbench, and a deployed position, in which the nose plate extends away from the workbench. The workbench-hand truck assembly is configurable in a hand truck position when the nose plate is in the deployed position, such that the nose plate extends perpendicular to the workbench.

  • Publication number: 20210220925
    Abstract: A rotary tool includes a housing, a drive shaft positioned within the housing, and a bit holder. The bit holder is positioned adjacent a distal end of the housing and is driven by rotation of the drive shaft. The rotary tool also includes a wrench assembly for adjusting the bit holder and a light source configured to emit light in a direction toward the bit holder. The wrench assembly is positioned adjacent the bit holder and is movable between a first position and a second position. The wrench assembly is coupled to the housing and disengaged from the bit holder assembly in the first position and is engaged with the bit holder assembly in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20210221561
    Abstract: A stackable storage system includes a first container, a second container, and a latch moveable between a first position and a second position. The first container includes a projection extending away from the first container along a stacking direction. An edge portion extends from the projection along a plane substantially perpendicular to the stacking direction. The second container includes a recess. The recess receives the projection when the first container and the second container are stacked relative to one another in the stacking direction. The latch overlaps the edge portion with respect to the stacking direction while in the first position to secure the first container and the second container. The latch and edge portion are positioned in a non-overlapping manner relative to one another while the latch is in the second position to permit separation of the first container from the second container.
