Abstract: A mobile power tool operating assembly for performing material treatment operations, such as drilling, has permanent magnet means to mount the power tool on a ferromagnetic workpiece, and release means to permit release of the magnet means for repositioning of the tool. The release means comprises a screw threaded jack which tilts the assembly so as to overcome the magnetic attraction. The tool can then be repositioned and lowered to its normal working attitude.
