Abstract: A hand cutting tool includes a handle lock assembly configured to retain handles of the cutting tool in a closed position. The handle lock assembly includes a latch that pivots with respect to a first handle about a latch axis from a locked position to an unlocked position and a pin manually movable with respect to a second handle between an engaged position and a released position. In a latched position of the handle lock assembly, the latch is in the locked position and engages the pin in the engaged position to retain the second handle in the closed position, and in an unlatched position of the handle lock assembly, the latch is in the unlocked position and is disengaged from the pin in response to the pin being manually moved to the released position to allow the second handle to move toward the open position.

Abstract: A power tool includes a base, a table supported by the base for pivoting movement about an axis, a coarse adjustment assembly between the base and the table, and a fine adjustment assembly between the base and the table. The fine adjustment assembly includes a rotating member supported by one of the base and the table, and an engagement surface provided by the other of the base and the table. The rotating member is selectively engageable with and rotatable along the engagement surface to finely adjust the angular position of the table relative to the base. The angular position of the table relative to the base is coarsely adjustable using the coarse adjustment assembly when the rotating member is disengaged from the engagement surface. The fine adjustment assembly disengages the coarse adjustment assembly and maintains the coarse adjustment assembly disengaged when the rotating member is engaged with the engagement surface.

Abstract: A mirror assembly for a vehicle is securable to a tubular member that defines a central axis and is secured to the vehicle. The mirror assembly comprises a clamping assembly including a concave surface that is engagable with the tubular member. A housing is coupled to the clamping assembly and supports a mirror. A latching assembly engages the clamping assembly and the housing and is movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. In the latched position, the housing is held substantially fixed with respect to the tubular member. In the unlatched position, the clamping assembly is movable in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis and is pivotable about the central axis, and the housing is pivotable with respect to the clamping assembly about a pin axis that is substantially perpendicular to the central axis.
