Abstract: A tool chest may include a base portion, two opposing sidewalls and a foldable lid. The sidewalls extend to define a tool repository therebetween. The lid has a closed position covering a top of the tool chest and at least a part of a front of the tool chest, and an open position in which both the top of the tool chest and the part of the front of the tool chest are open to provide access to the tool repository. The lid comprises a top section, an overhang portion and a front section. The top section extends perpendicular to the top section. The front section extends substantially parallel to the overhang portion in the closed position and substantially perpendicular to the overhang portion in the open position. A hanger space is formed between the front portion and the top portion when the lid is in the open position.

Abstract: A torque transfer assembly for a bit holder includes an axial movement limiting subassembly and a rotation limiting subassembly. The axial movement limiting subassembly is configured to retain a drive body of the bit holder in proximity to a driven body of the bit holder. The rotation limiting subassembly is configured to cause torque applied to the drive body to be transferred to the driven body. The rotation limiting subassembly includes a first cam body at a distal end of the drive body and a second cam body at a distal end of the driven body. The first and second cam bodies are configured to transfer a majority of the torque between the drive body and the driven body indirectly via the torque transfer assembly by limiting rotation of the first cam body relative to the second cam body.

Abstract: A chuck for use with a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle is provided. The chuck may comprise a plurality of jaws, a front body, a nut, a rear body, and a clutch. The clutch may be configured to move between a working position and a jaw actuating position. In the working position, the clutch teeth may be engaged with the rear body teeth such that rotation of the rear body by the drive spindle rotates the clutch, the front body, and the jaws. In the jaw actuating position, the clutch teeth may not or need not be engaged with the rear body teeth and the rear body may be configured to rotate the nut relative to the front body to move the jaws relative to the front body.

Abstract: An electrically isolated coupler includes a drive body, a driven body, and a torque transfer assembly. The drive body is made of first metallic material and has a drive end configured to interface with a fastening component. The drive body includes a first interface portion and the driven body includes a second interface portion. The driven body is made of a second metallic material and has a driven end configured to interface with a driving tool. The torque transfer assembly is disposed between the drive body and the driven body to electrically isolate the drive body and the driven body from each other and transfer torque between the drive body and the driven body. The torque transfer assembly includes non-conductive material configured to maintain separation between the drive body and the driven body of at least about 0.400?.

Abstract: Various chucks for use with a power driver having a rotatable drive spindle are provided. One chuck includes a plurality of jaws disposed at a forward end of the chuck, a body, a push plate, a jaw spring, and a nut. The plurality of jaws may be disposed in the body and configured to rotate with the body about a center axis of the chuck. The push plate may be operably coupled to each of the jaws. The jaws may be configured to translate forward to close the jaw opening in response to the push plate translating axially forward. The jaw spring may be configured to apply a forward directed force to urge the push plate forward. The nut may have nut teeth that cause the jaws to translate forward and clamp onto the working bit in response to the nut being rotated in a tightening direction.

Abstract: A speed square is provided including a triangular flat plate having measurement markings indicated on at least one face, a T bar affixed to, and extending along, the length of a first side of the triangular flat plate, and an extension element hingedly connected to an end of second side of the triangular flat plate opposite the T bar. The extension element having measurement markings indicated on at least one face, such that the measurement markings of the triangular flat face continue on the extension element.
