  • Patent number: 8961145
    Abstract: A compressor system is disclosed, comprising a first pump driven by a D/C motor, a second pump driven by an A/C motor, and a switch which allows a user to manually selectively engage of one of the D/C motor or A/C motor, including a gauge having a user settable shut-off mechanism which interrupts power to at least one of D/C or A/C motors. Also disclosed is a gauge configured to display system pressure independent of the user settable shut-off mechanism. A gauge having a rotatable bezel with a needle stop comprising a first needle rotatably coupled to a gauge shaft, and a second needle fixable coupled to the gauge shaft, and a spring disposed between the first and second needles, the spring configured to bias the first needle into the second needle so changes in pressure causes rotation of both is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8052358
    Abstract: A pocket hole jig tool system includes a base on which a workpiece is supported. A drill guide support is slidably mounted to the base. Drill guide bushings are movably mounted relative to the drill guide support for clampingly engaging the workpiece and for guiding a drill for engaging the workpiece. A stop collar assembly is adjustably mounted relative to the drill guide bushings to automatically ensure a proper pocket hole location and depth for the workpiece inserted in the tool system.

  • Publication number: 20080240933
    Abstract: A compressor system is disclosed utilizing a first pump driven by an A/C motor and a second pump driven by a D/C motor. A gauge is provided which measures pressure from the system. The gauge utilizes a rotatable bezel which allows an operator to selectively choose the output pressure of the compressor system. The gauge provides a shut-off mechanism for disengaging one of the pumps when a predetermined pressure is reached within the system.
