Patent number: 11779984Abstract: A tool for bending an elongated workpiece includes a shaft having a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion, and a coupling assembly coupling the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion. The coupling assembly has a locked configuration in which the coupling assembly inhibits movement of the first shaft portion relative to the second shaft portion and an unlocked configuration in which the coupling assembly permits movement of the first shaft portion relative to the second shaft portion. The tool also includes a shoe coupled to the second shaft portion. The shoe has a curved bottom portion and a hook configured to hold the workpiece against the curved bottom portion. The curved bottom portion is engageable with the workpiece to bend the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Aaron M. Williams, Kyle Reeder, Christopher S. Hoppe, Jacob Feuerstein, George Barton, Matthew W. Naiva, Matthew A. Lownik

Publication number: 20220134451Abstract: A cutter and a kit. The cutter, such as a close quarters cutter, is operable to cut a work piece extending along an axis and includes a cutting wheel, a roller, and a housing assembly supporting the cutting wheel and the roller for movement about the axis in a cutting direction to cut the work piece. The housing assembly has a generally cylindrical outer surface engageable by a user to pivot the cutter about the axis. A grip portion is provided on the outer surface and includes a plurality of grip members. Each grip member includes, relative to the cutting direction, a trailing surface and a leading surface extending from the outer surface. The leading surface may be angled toward the cutting direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Steven W. Hyma, Matthew W. Naiva, Derek Rose
