Abstract: A power tool that includes a tool body housing, a drive system, a tool head and a connection system. The drive system is housed in the tool body housing. The tool head, which is configured to perform work on a work piece, includes a tool head housing and an input member that is driven by the drive system when the tool head is coupled to the tool body housing. The tool head can be engaged to the tool body housing in at least two pre-defined and distinct orientations. The connection system secures the tool head to the tool body housing in each of the at least two pre-defined and distinct orientations.

Abstract: A power tool is provided and includes a housing, a motor, a gear case, a bearing assembly, and a chuck assembly. The motor is disposed in the housing and defines an axis of rotation. The gear case is coupled to the motor and includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the gear case is coupled to the housing. The bearing assembly extends from the distal end of the gear case along the axis of rotation and supports a driveshaft for rotation about the axis of rotation. The chuck assembly is rotatably coupled to the driveshaft and includes a chuck sleeve annularly surrounding the bearing assembly about the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A power tool including a housing comprising a handle section and a motor housing section, a longitudinal axis of the handle section being at an offset angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the motor housing section. A motor is housed in the motor housing section. An output member selectively driven by the motor. A user actuatable trigger activates the motor and an attachment unit is removably coupled to the power tool. The handle runs from a first end to a second end. The first end is adjacent to the motor housing section and the second end is adjacent to a connection section. The attachment unit is removably coupled to the power tool at the connection section.

Abstract: A power tool is provided and may include a motor, an output shaft, a neck portion, and a collar portion. The output shaft may be driven by the motor. The neck portion may be configured to receive a removable attachment accessory. The neck portion may define a first diameter and may include a plurality of indexing features. The collar portion may be supported by the neck portion. The collar portion may include an outer circumferential surface defining a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter. The outer circumferential surface may include at least one recess.

Abstract: A power tool including a housing with an electric motor in the housing. The motor has a stator and an armature, the stator having field coils and the armature having an armature shaft on which a commutator is affixed. A pair of brush boxes are located in the housing on opposite sides of the commutator. An orbit mechanism coupled to the armature shaft and a platen is coupled to the orbit mechanism. The field coils comprise a first field coil facing a front of the sander and a second field coil facing a rear of the sander and the brush boxes are rotationally offset from the field coils with respect to a vertical axis of the sander.

Abstract: A hand-held power tool is configured to receive an input indicative of a clutch setting for an electronic clutch from the tool operator, where the clutch setting is selectable from a drill mode, an automated drive mode and one or more user-defined drive modes. Each of the user-defined drive modes specifies a different value of torque at which to interrupt transmission of torque to the output spindle. In an automated drive mode, the controller interrupt torque to the output spindle in an automated manner when a fastener being driven reaches a desired stopping position. In a selected one of the user-defined drive modes, the controller sets a value of a maximum current threshold in accordance with the selected one of the user-defined drive modes and interrupts torque to the output spindle when current measures exceeding the maximum current threshold.

Abstract: A power drill can comprise a housing having a motor that includes an output member. A rotary output spindle can be journaled in the housing. A transmission can be disposed in the housing and include a first output gear and a second output gear. The transmission can selectively couple the output member to the output spindle through one of the first output gear or the second output gear for rotating the output spindle at one of a first speed or a second speed, respectively. A speed shift assembly can include a guide plate and a user engageable member. The guide plate can selectively influence movement of the first and second output gears. The user engageable member can be movable between a first speed position and a second speed position. Movement between the first and second positions can cause the second output gear to at least partially nest into the first output gear.
