  • Publication number: 20250083290
    Abstract: A fastener device that drives a fastener from a plurality of fasteners into a workpiece is provided. The fastener device comprises a housing, a nose assembly, a magazine, a driver, a motor assembly, a trigger switch, a sensor, and a controller. The motor assembly is configured to transmit power to a driver to thereby cause the driver to translate along the drive axis. The trigger switch is configured to be actuated in response to an operator input to generate a trigger switch signal. The sensor is configured to sense a distance between the nosepiece and the workpiece and generate a sensor signal in response thereto. The controller is operatively connected to the motor assembly, the sensor and the trigger switch. The controller is configured to initiate a drive cycle of the fastening device to drive the fastener into the workpiece based on the trigger switch signal and the sensor signal.

  • Patent number: 11123850
    Abstract: A removable contact trip can be received in an aperture of the barrel and can be slidable between a retracted position and an extended position relative to an end of the barrel. The removable contact trip can define a muzzle aperture aligned with the driver axis and through which a fastener is driven by the nail driver. The removable contact trip can include a latch pocket. A removable contact trip latch can be biased toward a latched position in which the removable contact trip latch extends through a window of the barrel and is receivable in the latch pocket to latch the removable contact trip to the barrel. The removable contact trip latch can also be movable to an unlatched position in which the removable contact trip latch is not receivable in the latch pocket to unlatch and permit removal of the contact trip from the barrel.

  • Publication number: 20200114499
    Abstract: A power tool includes a tool body including a motor having an output member that drives an accessory. A chuck is coupled for rotation with the output member relative to the tool body and configured to retain the accessory. The chuck has a chuck body that defines at least one light pipe formed therethrough. A light source disposed on a light ring coupled to the tool body and includes at least one light. Each at least one light source aligns with each of the at least one light pipe intermittently during rotation of the chuck.

  • Patent number: 9352458
    Abstract: A power tool having a light for illuminating an area proximate a movable end effector. The light may be mounted in such a way as to transmit light through a rotatable collar on the power tool, through or through a member of a housing of the power tool, or from the moving end effector. The light may be powered by a power source that is used for moving the end effector or from a generator that generates electrical power when the power tool is used.

  • Patent number: 9028088
    Abstract: A power tool includes a tool body having an output member that drives an accessory. An end effector is coupled for rotation with the output member. A light source is disposed on the end effector. A primary coil assembly is configured on the tool body and mounted concentric to the output member. The primary coil assembly includes a primary coil that is electrically connected to a power source of the power tool. A secondary coil assembly is configured on the end effector and mounted concentric to the output member. The secondary coil assembly includes a secondary coil that is electrically connected to the light source. Current flowing through the primary coil creates a magnetic field that causes current to flow through the secondary winding and power the light source.
