Patent number: 11298793Abstract: A compact multi-material cut-off tool includes a housing, and an arbor rotatably supported by the housing upon which a cutting disk is attachable for co-rotation therewith. A motor is coupled to the arbor to provide torque thereto. A controller is operable to selectively drive the motor in a first rotational direction and an opposite, second rotational direction. A first lighting element is coupled to a first portion of the housing, and a second lighting element is coupled to a second portion of the housing. One of the first lighting element and the second lighting element is configured to be activated by the controller in response to the motor being driven in the first rotational direction. The other of the first lighting element and the second lighting element is configured to be activated by the controller in response to the motor being driven in the second rotational direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: TECHTRONIC CORDLESS GPInventors: Ronald C. McCurry, Adam Gathers, Kyle B. Yeomans, Brian D. Mertel, M. Grayson Jacoway, Brandon L. Hicks, Jesse J. Jerabek, Nicholas S. Norton

Publication number: 20210220925Abstract: A rotary tool includes a housing, a drive shaft positioned within the housing, and a bit holder. The bit holder is positioned adjacent a distal end of the housing and is driven by rotation of the drive shaft. The rotary tool also includes a wrench assembly for adjusting the bit holder and a light source configured to emit light in a direction toward the bit holder. The wrench assembly is positioned adjacent the bit holder and is movable between a first position and a second position. The wrench assembly is coupled to the housing and disengaged from the bit holder assembly in the first position and is engaged with the bit holder assembly in the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Inventors: Tyler H.
