Abstract: A chuck assembly for a rotary power tool includes a body rotatable about a central axis, the body including a plurality of openings and a first set of threads, a plurality of jaws received within the plurality of openings in the body; a collar surrounding the body, the collar including a stepped portion configured to engage the plurality of jaws to limit radial movement of the plurality of jaws, a second set of threads coupled for co-rotation with the collar and engageable with the first set of threads on the body such that rotation of the collar relative to the body causes the collar to move axially along the body, and a spring biasing the collar such that the stepped portion is biased into engagement with the plurality of jaws.

Abstract: A power tool includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion, a motor directly mounted between the housing portions with an output shaft defining an axis, and a gear assembly supported within the housing and including a ring gear directly supported by the housing portions, a pinion gear coupled for co-rotation with the output shaft, and planet gears meshed with the pinion gear and the ring gear. The power tool also includes a drive assembly operably coupled to the gear assembly with a camshaft, an anvil, a hammer configured to reciprocate along the camshaft to impart rotational impacts to the anvil, and a spring biasing the hammer towards the anvil. The ring gear includes lugs engaged with the first housing portion and the second housing portion to rotationally constrain the ring gear.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing with a motor housing portion and a handle portion extending from the motor housing portion, a motor supported within the motor housing portion, a drive assembly operatively coupled to the motor, the drive assembly producing vibrations during operation of the power tool, a battery receptacle located within the handle portion, a battery at least partially insertable into the battery receptacle along a battery axis, the battery configured to provide power to the motor, and a vibration mitigation system configured to reduce transmission of the vibrations produced by the drive assembly to the battery.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a motor supported within the housing, the motor including a stator and a rotor, and a PCBA supported within the housing, the PCBA including a sensor configured to detect rotation of the rotor and an indicator assembly. The indicator assembly is configured to indicate an operational parameter of the power tool.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion, the first housing portion and the second housing portion collectively defining a motor housing portion and a handle housing portion, a motor supported within the motor housing portion, the motor including an output shaft defining an axis, a battery removably coupled to the handle housing portion to provide power to the motor, and a coupling mechanism positioned within the motor housing portion to couple the first housing portion and the second housing portion together.

Abstract: A random orbit sander includes a housing having a motor housing portion and a handle portion extending from the motor housing portion, a motor disposed within the motor housing portion, a random orbit mechanism driven by the motor and having an output shaft, a backing pad removably engaged with the output shaft; and a spindle lock assembly adjacent the backing pad, wherein the spindle lock assembly includes a support ring and a wrench rotatably disposed on the support ring between a stowed position, in which the wrench is disengaged from a nut on the output shaft, and a deployed position, in which the wrench is engaged with the nut to lock rotation of the output shaft.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing having a primary housing and a secondary housing coupled to the primary housing, a motor supported within the primary housing, an output member driven by the motor and extending from the secondary housing, a circuit board assembly supported within the primary housing, a passageway at least partially formed by the secondary housing, and a lighting assembly coupled to the secondary housing. The lighting assembly includes a light source configured to illuminate a workpiece, a wire extending from the circuit board assembly to the lighting assembly through the passageway, and a sleeve positioned in the passageway and surrounding at least a portion of the wire.
