Abstract: A power tool for forming threads includes a tool housing with a motor housing portion having a first handle, a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery, a motor housing portion with a motor, a transmission housing portion with a transmission, and an operating head portion arranged along a tool axis. A cutting head is at least partially received in the operating head portion and rotates about a rotational axis transverse to the tool axis to form threads in a workpiece. A second handle is coupled to the operating head or the tool housing adjacent the operating head. When power is applied to the motor, the motor rotates and the transmission transmits torque from the motor to rotate the cutting head. A center of gravity of the power tool is positioned at a portion of the tool housing substantially aligned with the second handle.

Abstract: A power tool includes a motor assembly coupled to a transmission assembly to drive an output device. The motor assembly includes a stator assembly coupled to a rotor that rotates about a central axis of the power tool, with a plurality of magnets received in magnet pockets defined in the rotor. At least a portion of a motor bearing, and at least a portion of a cam carrier bearing of the transmission mechanism, are received within a motor envelope defined by the motor assembly.

Abstract: A tool with a transmission assembly having a reduction gearset and a speed selector. The speed selector has a member, an actuator and a shifter assembly. The member is movable between a first position, in which the member is non-rotatable, and a second position in which the member is coupled to a planet carrier of the reduction gearset for common rotation. The actuator includes a pivoting yoke and a follower that is coupled to the yoke. The follower engages the member so as to be axially movable with the follower. The shifter assembly has a selector switch, a switch fork, and a pair of springs. The selector switch is slidable between a first switch position and a second switch position. The switch fork is slidably coupled to the selector switch and receives the yoke. The springs cooperate to bias the switch fork relative to the selector switch into a neutral position.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing; an electric motor; an electronic clutch; and a clutch setting assembly that includes a variable resistive element, a clutch selector, and a contact assembly. The contact assembly includes a spring coupled to the clutch selector and a contact member with a leg configured to be insertable into an opening in the clutch selector so that the spring and the contact member are non-removable from the clutch selector and the spring biases the contact member against the variable resistive element. The contact member has a head configured to engage the variable resistive element to generate a resistance signal that corresponds to a position of the clutch selector. The controller is configured to receive the resistance signal and, based on the resistance signal, look-up, receive, or generate the torque threshold value for the power tool operation parameter that corresponds to the selected clutch setting.

Abstract: A power tool includes an electrostatic clutch assembly disposed between a motor and an end effector. A control circuit causes a first voltage to be applied to a first electrode of the electrostatic clutch assembly and a second voltage to be applied to a second electrode of the electrostatic clutch assembly, the first voltage being different from the second voltage, generating a first attractive force between the first and second electrodes, causing a shaft and a clutch housing to be coupled to each other when a torque on one of the shaft or the clutch housing is less than or equal to a first threshold value, and allowing the one of the shaft or the clutch housing to rotationally slip relative to the other of the shaft or the clutch housing when the torque on the one of the shaft or the clutch housing exceeds the first threshold value.

Abstract: An expanding tool for widening pipe ends having an ergonomic design. The expanding tool uses a transmission which drives a cam offset at a distance from a motor axis to drive a number of jaws which move from a closed position to an open position to widen a pipe end. The expanding tool has a balanced positioning of components across the expanding tool's length achieving ergonomic benefits for a user.

Abstract: A shear wrench tool including a motor; a transmission operatively connected to the motor; a first socket arranged to engage a tip of a bolt to be sheared; a second socket arranged to engage a nut threaded on the bolt; wherein the first socket and second sockets are operatively connected to the transmission and rotate in opposite directions relative to each other when the motor provides torque to the transmission in use; an ejector mechanism comprising an ejector pin coaxial with the first and second sockets and moveable between a retracted position for enabling the tip of a bolt to be sheared to be received in the first socket and an extended position for urging a sheared tip from within in the first socket.

Abstract: A control module for a high-power electric motor may include a metal base, an insulating wall fastened to the metal base, and a circuit board disposed within the insulating wall. The circuit board may include a first surface that faces the metal base and a second surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of power switches may be mounted on the first surface of the circuit board and configured as an inverter circuit. A thermally conductive electrically insulating layer may be between the circuit board and the metal base. Power output terminals may be mounted on the second surface of the circuit board. An insulating frame may extend between at least one pair of the power output terminals. One or more fasteners may be received through the insulating frame, the circuit board, and the thermally conductive electrically insulating layer and fastened to the metal base.

Abstract: An oscillating tool including a housing, a motor in the housing, a multitool shaft driven by the motor, and a clamp assembly operatively driven by the motor through the multitool shaft in an oscillating motion. The clamp assembly is configured to selectively hold a power tool accessory and a fan on the multitool shaft. The fan is operatively driven by the motor with the multi-tool shaft and the fan is a double side blade fan.

Abstract: A device may include a housing. A device may include a rotatable input shaft at least partially received in the housing and configured to be coupled to a power tool. A device may include a rotatable blade configured to be rotated upon rotation of the rotatable input shaft. A device may include a jaw assembly coupled to the housing and including a first jaw and a second jaw operable to grasp a cable, the jaw assembly operable to move the cable towards the rotatable blade allowing the rotatable blade to form a slit in an exterior jacket of the cable.
