Abstract: An angled impact wrench includes a housing mounting a motor having an output shaft rotatable about a first axis, and an impact drive unit mounted in the housing for rotation about a second axis that is nonparallel to the first axis. The impact drive unit is configured to repeatedly cycle between an energy storing and energy release conditions in response to a drive torque supplied by the motor. The impact drive unit has a through passage extending along the second axis to allow a workpiece to extend completely through the impact wrench while the drive unit torques a threaded fastener onto the workpiece.

Abstract: A battery powered lighting device is configured to be releasably attached to a lift bucket having sidewalls and an upper lip extending from uppermost portions of the sidewalls. The lighting device includes a main housing, a securing member that cooperates with the main housing to secure the device to an aerial work platform, a main light mounted to the main housing and located to illuminate areas outside of the lift bucket, and an interior light located to illuminate an interior of the lift bucket.

Abstract: A cable cutter includes stationary and moveable clamps, each comprising a respective pivot opening and a cutting edge spaced from the pivot opening. A pivot joint connects the clamps to allow the movable clamp to pivot about a pivot axis relative to the stationary clamp. The pivot joint includes a threaded connector having a head and a shank extending from the head along the pivot axis through the pivot openings in the clamps. A collar has opposing faces and an opening extending through the collar. A nut is threaded on the shank and the clamps are sandwiched between the head and the collar with the head adjacent one of the clamps. The collar is engaged to rotate with the shank the about the pivot axis.

Abstract: A quick connect is provided to releasably connect two objects while allowing a limited pivot motion between the two connected objects.

Abstract: An impact device includes a drive assembly, a cam having a ramp and a fall-off, and a follower associated with the cam. During rotation of the cam, one of the cam or the follower axially displaces as the follower traverses the cam and falls off the fall-off to transform the rotary motion of the drive assembly to a reciprocating motion having a saw-tooth shape that includes a gradual retraction and a quick extension. The quick extension creates an impact loading, which can be used, for example, for driving a fastener into a work piece.
