Abstract: A power tool including a housing and a motor housed in the housing. There is a spring engine housed in the housing and a driver blade driven by the spring engine. Additionally, the power tool holds a pipe clamp configured to be driven into a workpiece by the driver blade.

Abstract: A tool is provided for applying fasteners to a workpiece. The tool as a magazine that carries multiple fasteners and is carried by a housing. A driver blade is provided to drive a lead fastener into a workpiece. The driver blade has a driving edge with a profile that includes driving projections, having curved contact surface for contact with curved edges of the fastener, and a relief portion therebetween that is recessed relative to both projections and contact surfaces. Further, the tool includes a lockout assembly for limiting movement of the driver blade and contact trip, thereby limiting activation of the motor. The pusher may include a pusher lockout surface that is designed for movement in an opposite direction to a feed direction by the contact trip as well as configured to slide over a locking art of the contact trip when the fasteners are empty or nearly empty.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a water inlet configured to connect the appliance to an external water supply; a pressure control device configured to prevent water entering the appliance from the water inlet from exceeding atmospheric pressure; a treatment container configured to treat household items with water; and a seal between the pressure control device and the treatment container configured to prevent gas flowing from the treatment container to the pressure control device.

Abstract: A folded sheet panel assembly includes a gap formed in a corner region which is filled with a corner insert member. A retention clip is attached to the corner insert to retain the corner insert once installed in the gap. The retention clip includes outwardly flaring wing portions which press upon inner surfaces of the sheet panel to fix the installed position of the corner insert. The corner insert includes a locking device which engages a surface of the retention clip to limit or prevent movement of the corner insert relative to the retention clip.

Abstract: A handle for a power tool is provided including a field case and front handle portion formed as a single piece. The front handle portion has an opening in a rear side thereof for receiving the wiring for the power tool. The wiring is connected to a motor that is mounted in the field case. A rear handle portion is attached to the front handle portion for covering the opening in the rear of the front handle portion. An end cap is connected to a rear of the field case for covering the remaining exposed wires connected to the motor. With the front handle design, the wire-up of the power tool can be completed from one side of the tool without having to turn the tool over during the wire-up process.

Abstract: A variable speed drill includes a housing and a motor within the housing. The motor has (a) a motor field lamination diameter greater than 65 mm, (b) a motor current rating greater than 8 amps, (c) a motor power level greater than 600 Watts, (d) a maximum torque level at the chuck greater than 580 in-lbs, (e) a weight greater than 5.5 pounds or (f) a maximum speed less than 550 rpm.
