Abstract: A chuck for use with a rotary power tool having an output spindle. The chuck includes a base and an inner sleeve threadedly coupled to the base. The inner sleeve has a central aperture. A collet is disposed within the central aperture of the inner sleeve and configured to be engaged by a portion of the inner sleeve to be tightened or untightened. The chuck further includes an outer sleeve surrounding the inner sleeve, and a detent member disposed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The detent member is coupled for co-rotation with the outer sleeve and configured to selectively transmit torque from the outer sleeve to the inner sleeve. When the collet is tightened, rotation of the outer sleeve causes axial displacement of the detent member relative to the inner sleeve as the outer sleeve and the detent member rotate relative to the inner sleeve.

Abstract: A pressing and driving mechanism, adapted for use in an electric screwdriver, includes a housing, an output member connected to the housing and movable relative to the housing with user intervention, a first adjustment member connected to the output member and moving along with the latter, and a second adjustment member fixed relative to the housing. The second adjustment member is adapted to be in mechanical contact with the first adjustment member. The first adjustment member moves relative to the second adjustment member when the output member moves relative to the housing, whereby the pressing and driving mechanism actively or passively outputs a continuously changing signal. The present invention can realize the function of automatically changing the output torque/speed with the pressing depth when the electric screwdriver is pressed by the user toward the wall or other workpiece.

Abstract: A plunge circular saw, including a cutting body and a substrate pivotally connected to the cutting body. The cutting body contains a housing; at least one handle provided on the housing; a motor received within the housing; a circular saw blade mechanically connected to the motor; a battery pack electrically connected to the motor, and a hinge for pivotally connecting the cutting body to the substrate. The battery pack is detachably mounted to a trailing end of the cutting body. The cutting body is pivotable relative to the substrate by the hinge and movable between a cutting position and a parking position. The hinge is disposed at a position between the motor or the circular saw blade and the battery pack. The circular saw provided by the present invention improves the overall parallelism of the circular saw by changing the position of the hinge and gravity distribution thereof, thereby allowing the user to cut the workpiece more easily and accurately.
