Abstract: A power tool including a battery pack interface configured to receive a battery pack. The battery pack interface includes one or more power terminals and one or more communication terminals. The power tool further includes a controller having an electronic processor. The controller is configured to receive, via the one or more communication terminals, a plurality of signals indicating a plurality of temperatures of the battery pack. The controller is further configured to determine, based on the signals, a battery pack type. The controller is further configured to control discharge of the battery pack based on the battery pack type.

Abstract: A method of driving a rod into the ground includes coupling an impact portion of an attachment to a powered hammer. The rod is positioned between a first jaw of the attachment and a second jaw of the attachment. The first jaw is pivoted relative to the attachment such that the first jaw is engaged with the rod. The second jaw is pivoted relative to the attachment such that the second jaw is engaged with the rod. The powered hammer is activated to deliver repeated axial impacts to the impact portion of the attachment.

Abstract: A method of driving a rod into the ground comprises coupling an impact portion of an attachment to a powered hammer, positioning the rod between a first jaw of the attachment and a second jaw of the attachment, activating a first motor to move the first jaw toward the second jaw, such that the rod is clamped between the two jaws, and activating a second motor to drive an axial impact mechanism of the powered hammer to deliver repeated axial impacts to the impact portion of the attachment.

Abstract: A vehicle battery jump starter that is powered by a removable and rechargeable battery pack, such as a battery pack used with various hand-held power tools. The battery pack removably connects to a vehicle battery jump starter and can be selectively used to charge a power boost module within the vehicle battery jump starter. The power boost module includes, for example, a plurality of supercapacitors or lithium polymer battery cells. The power boost module in combination with the battery pack 100 can be used to jump start a vehicle battery.

Abstract: A powered hammer assembly includes a powered hammer including an output shaft and an axial impact mechanism. The assembly also includes an attachment including an impact portion defining a first axis. The impact portion is fixed to the body and is immovable relative to the body. The impact portion is configured to receive repeated impacts from the powered hammer. The attachment further comprises a receiving portion in which a rod to be driven into the ground is receivable. The clamping portion defines a second axis that is parallel with the first axis.
