Abstract: Described are aspects of sensor mount fixing techniques and apparatuses that are configured to receive, secure, and/or support one or more sensors relative to a support structure of a workpiece. In aspects, a sensor mount fixing includes a body portion configured to mount on a support structure. The body portion includes a sensor mount portion configured to receive a sensor housing through the body portion. A sensor mount fixing may include a locknut retainer configured to retain a first locknut engaged with the sensor housing against rotation during a turning (e.g., a tightening, a loosening) of a second locknut engaged with the sensor housing. A sensor mount fixing may include a clamp portion configured to clamp onto the sensor housing to retain the sensor housing.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses for excess cable organization. In one aspect, an excess cable organizer apparatus includes a base portion that is configured to attach to a support surface, at least two first retainer posts that extend from the base portion, and at least one second retainer post that extends from the base portion. The base portion defines a base plane. The first retainer posts extend from the base portion a first distance from the base plane. The first retainer posts define at least one passageway configured to receive a first elongated article therebetween. The second retainer post extends from the base portion a second distance from the base plane and is configured to support a second elongated article.

Abstract: A channel routing entrance and exit is provided by a channel insert component that enables the passing of one or more elongated objects into or out of a channel. The channel insert component includes an opening configured to receive the one or more elongated objects. The opening is defined by one or more radiused edges that mitigate abrasion of the one or more elongated objects. The channel insert component also includes a notch configured to detachably secure the channel insert component to a protrusion of the channel. The channel insert component also includes a gap along the opening disposed between one or more cantilevers that are flexible from an initial shape to widen the gap, enabling the one or more elongated objects to fit through the gap into the opening.

Abstract: Disclosed in this publication are channel mount fixings for the stacked mounting of elongated articles. In one implementation, a channel mount fixing includes a body section, a mount, and an object support. The body section is configured to position an elongated article adjacent to a workpiece. The mount is configured to attach to the workpiece. The object support is configured to support the article. The object support and body section define a channel therebetween that is configured to receive the article. The object support includes a block, a stand-off member, and a retainer arm. The block is configured to attach to the article via a cable tie and defines a cable tie pass-thru therethrough that is configured to receive the cable tie. The stand-off member is configured to space the block apart from the body section. The retainer arm is configured to retain the article in the channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fixing that includes a body section, a mounting section, and an object support. The body section has a body first end extending to a body second end, which defines a longitudinal axis. The body section includes a cable tie guide configured for receiving a cable tie, the cable tie guide includes a channel portion that extends along the body section longitudinal axis. The mounting section may include a connector configured for attachment to a workpiece. The object support and the body section define a cradle therebetween. The object support includes a stand-off member and a cradle arm. In aspects, the fixing includes a first fixing part and a second fixing part, which are joined at a breakable portion.

Abstract: A fixing with a cutting guide may include a body section configured to mount on a workpiece, an object support configured to support a component, and a tie aperture configured to receive a cable tie. The object support includes a support arm that includes an outer surface, a first flange that extends from the outer surface along a first flange axis, a second flange that extends from the outer surface parallel to the first flange and spaced apart from the first flange, and a third flange that extends from the outer surface parallel to the first and second flanges. The third flange is positioned between the first and second flanges and is spaced apart from the first and second flanges. A first receiver is defined between the first and third flanges and a second receiver is defined between the second and third flanges.

Abstract: A job box includes a base defining a storage area, a lid coupled to the base and moveable between an open position, in which the storage area is accessible, and a closed position, in which the storage area in not accessible, and a charging station supported by the base. The station includes a first charging port configured to charge a battery pack of a first type, a second charging port configured to charge a battery pack of a second type, a light, and a first power outlet. The charging station is moveable relative to the job box to a plurality of different positions.

Abstract: A crimping tool, for attaching at least one wire to a connector, includes a housing, a first handle coupled to the housing, and a second handle coupled to the housing and movable relative to the first handle. The crimping tool also includes a working head coupled to the housing opposite the first and second handles. The working head includes an upper wall, an end wall, and a gap defined between the upper wall and the end wall. The crimping tool also includes a punch assembly slidable along the working head toward the end wall in response to movement of the second handle toward the first handle. The punch assembly is visible through the gap as the punch assembly slides toward the end wall.

Abstract: A screwdriver comprises a handle including a butt and a shank extending from the handle and including a tip. The butt includes a first indicating element having a shape corresponding to the tip and a plurality of second indicating elements arranged around the first indicating element. Each of the second indicating elements has the shape.
