Abstract: A rotary impact tool including a motor housing, an electric motor supported in the motor housing, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The drive assembly includes an anvil including an anvil lug, and a hammer that is both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil. The hammer includes a hammer lug for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil lug. The rotary impact tool further includes a first printed circuit board assembly including an anvil sensor, a first carrier supporting the first printed circuit board assembly, a second printed circuit board assembly including a hammer sensor, and a second carrier supporting the second printed circuit board assembly.

Abstract: One example power tool includes a primary housing. A motor may be situated within the primary housing. The power tool may further include a transmission mechanism configured to transmit rotational energy from the motor to an output unit of the power tool. The power tool may further include a secondary housing in which at least a portion of the transmission mechanism is located. The power tool may further include a light source mounted to a front end of the secondary housing. The power tool may include one or more wires that extend through the passageway and that are electrically connected to the light source.

Abstract: A blade clamp assembly including: a cover coupled to a sawbar to at least partially define, in tandem with the sawbar, a blade slot for receiving a saw blade, the cover including a detent slot; a detent positioned and movable in the detent slot, the detent configured to selectively engage the saw blade when positioned within the blade slot; and an actuator at least partially positioned between the cover and the sawbar, the actuator including a tapered surface engageable with the detent to move the detent within the detent slot; wherein the actuator is movable between a first position, in which the tapered surface and a surface of the detent slot wedge the detent against the saw blade to impart a clamping force to the saw blade, and a second position, in which the tapered surface permits the detent to disengage the saw blade and release the clamping force.

The printed circuit board assembly is spaced from the anvil to define an axial gap therebetween.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a drive mechanism supported within the housing, a spindle operatively coupled to an output of the drive mechanism such that torque from the drive mechanism rotates the spindle about an axis, and an accessory removably coupled to the housing. The drive mechanism is configured to supply up to a first maximum torque to the spindle when the accessory is removed from the housing. The drive mechanism is configured to supply up to a second maximum torque to the spindle greater than the first maximum torque when the accessory is coupled to the housing.

Abstract: A bit holder configured to engage a power tool. The bit holder including a mounting element and a bit holding portion. The mounting element is configured to alternately engage a first mounting structure on a first side of the power tool and a second mounting structure on a second side of the power tool. The bit holding portion includes a bit retaining aperture configured to at least partially receive a bit to secure the bit to the power tool.
