  • Alignment of attachment(s) mounted on a power tool
    Patent number: 5782570
    Abstract: An alignment device for power tools is disclosed comprising a power tool attachment, typically a socket or an extension and an alignment ring mounted on an output shaft. The alignment ring is placed between the output shaft and a socket or extension. The alignment ring reduces the motion between the socket and the output shaft, thereby reducing wear on both the socket and the output shaft. Also, the use of the alignment ring allows the energy of the tool to be used in improving torque.
