Abstract: Multi-speed automatic transmissions for power tools are provided. A multi-speed automatic transmission includes an output shaft configured to be coupled to a chain sprocket to rotatably drive the chain sprocket, wherein the automatic transmission is configured to automatically shift between a plurality of gear ratios in response to a rotational speed of the output shaft reaching a preset rotational speed.

Abstract: A snow blower may include a frame, a rotatable auger, one or more wheels, and a chute body. The frame may define an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The outlet opening may be circumferentially bounded about a chute axis. The rotatable auger may be mounted to the frame rearward from the inlet opening and below the outlet opening to motivate snow to the outlet opening. The one or more wheels may be mounted to the frame apart from the rotatable auger to support the snow blower. The chute body may extend from the frame along the chute axis above the outlet opening.

Abstract: Self-propelled outdoor tool bases and assemblies are provided. A self-propelled outdoor tool assembly includes one or more tools and a drive system. A tool may be a transportation tool such as a spreader hopper. An assembly may include a base, and the tool may be removably connectable to the base. The assembly may include a toolless connection between the tool and the base.

Abstract: Chainsaws and methods of operating chainsaws are provided. A chainsaw includes a guide bar supporting a chain; a motor configured to drive the chain, the motor receiving power from an electrical energy source of the chainsaw; a sprocket operably coupled between the motor and the chain to impart driving force from the motor to the chain; and an operating device operably coupled between the motor and the sprocket and moveable between a driving state and a neutral state, wherein the chain is freely moveable in at least one direction relative to the motor when the operating device is in the neutral state.
