Abstract: An oscillating working tool includes a main body with a coupling interface in a receiving region of the main body that is different from a working region of the main body. The at least one coupling interface is configured to couple to a tool receiver of a power tool. The working tool further includes a further coupling interface, arranged in the receiving region and configured to couple to a further tool receiver, different from the tool receiver, of a further power tool. The coupling interface and the further coupling interface realize at least two different coupling planes, in each of which at least one axial securing element of the at least one coupling interface and/or of the further coupling interface is arranged.

Abstract: A power tool is advantageously configured to provide a rotating motion, an oscillating motion, and a reciprocating motion. The power tool includes at least one motor, which is operable to drive these three different motions at the same time. The power tool includes a rotating member, which is configured to output a rotating motion. The rotating member is configured to attach to and detach from a rotating accessory. The power tool includes an oscillating member, which is configured to output an oscillating motion. The oscillating member is configured to attach to and detach from an oscillating accessory. The power tool includes a pin, which is configured to output a reciprocating motion. The pin is configured to provide the reciprocating motion to a reciprocating accessory. The power tool is configured to provide a connected accessory with the corresponding motion during operation.

Abstract: An accessory for a power tool, includes a mounting portion configured to mate with an oscillating drive member of a power tool. A support arm portion extends from the mounting portion in a first direction. The support arm portion includes an inner edge that faces in a second direction transverse to the first direction. A blade portion extends from the support arm generally in the second direction. The blade portion includes a trailing edge arranged facing generally toward the mounting portion and a leading edge arranged facing generally away from the mounting portion. The trailing edge and the leading edge portion meet to define a pointed tip portion.

Abstract: A guide attachment for a rotary hand tool is disclosed that comprises a housing, an adapter and a removable base. The attachment is configured to remove grout from between adjacent tiles, such as floor or wall tiles. The housing of the preferred embodiment is configured to permit a tool bit to engage a work surface at the normal intersection of two planes. The removable base of the preferred embodiment permits the attachment to work on flat surfaces. The base is also reversible and contains multiple sets of guide points for guiding the tool bit along grooves that have different widths. The preferred embodiment can also include a vacuum adapter that is attachable to the housing and allows a vacuum hose to be coupled to the guide attachment for removing debris during operation. The configuration of the housing or locking mechanism accommodates adapters having different circumferences.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for preserving blood samples. In particular, a method for stabilizing glucose level in a blood sample is provided, which method comprises adding an effective amount of glyceraldehyde to a blood sample, whereby glucose level in said blood sample remains substantially constant for a period of time. Kits and combinations for stabilizing glucose level in a blood sample are also provided.
