Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing, and an output spindle rotatably supported relative to the housing about an axis. The motor is operable to drive the output spindle about the axis. The power tool includes a spindle lock assembly between the motor and the output spindle. The spindle lock assembly is adjustable between an unlocked state in which the output spindle is rotatable relative to the housing about the axis and a locked state in which the output spindle is rotationally fixed relative to the housing. The spindle lock assembly includes a first resilient member, positioned between the housing and the output spindle. The first resilient member is configured to at least partially absorb a torque impulse from the output spindle when rotating in a first direction and when the spindle lock assembly transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state.

Abstract: A side handle assembly comprises a handle configured to be gripped by a user, a rod coaxially coupled the handle and rotationally fixed to the handle, and a clamp coupled to the rod. The clamp includes a flexible band enclosing an area and having a first end and a second end, a first connection block coupled to the first end of the flexible band, and a second connection block coupled to the second end of the flexible band. The rod includes an annular shoulder abutted with the first connection block and a threaded portion received within a threaded bore of the second connection block. In response to the handle being rotated in a first direction, the second connection block is moved closer to the first connection block along the threaded portion of the rod, decreasing the area enclosed by the flexible band.

Abstract: A side handle assembly comprises a handle configured to be gripped by a user, a rod coaxially coupled at a first end to the handle, the rod rotationally fixed to the handle, and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a first tool interface with a through bore, the first tool interface configured to accept a clamping shaft within the through bore, a second tool interface with a threaded bore, the second tool interface configured to accept a threaded portion of the clamping shaft within the threaded bore, and an orientation adjustment mechanism coupling a second end of the rod to the mounting assembly and configured to adjust an orientation of the rod and handle with respect to at least one of the first tool interface or the second tool interface of the mounting assembly.
