Patent number: 9228832Abstract: A level includes a first planar surface having a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge and a second planar surface having a third longitudinal edge and a fourth longitudinal edge. The first longitudinal edge and the third longitudinal edge define a first side plane and the second longitudinal edge and the fourth longitudinal edge define a second side plane. A vial has a long axis and contains a liquid and a gas bubble. A web is coupled to the first and second planar surfaces such that the first and second planar surfaces are spaced apart from and parallel to each other. The web includes a first side surface on the first plane and a second side surface. A first recess pattern is arranged to engage a first electrical component and a second recess pattern is arranged to engage a second electrical component.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Michael S. Steele, Wade F. Burch, Timothy Albrecht, Michael W. Phillips, Brandon Miller

Patent number: 8646138Abstract: A utility bar includes a shank portion for providing a grip, the shank portion including a first end and a second end, a substantially arch-shaped head portion extending from the first end of the shank portion, and a pry bar portion extending from the second end of the shank portion. Each of the head portion and the pry bar portion define a free end of the utility bar. The utility bar also includes a first facet including the free end of the head portion, a second facet extending from the first facet at an angle with respect to the first facet and positioned between the free end of the head portion and the shank portion, and a first fulcrum edge between the first and second facets for providing a first pivot point about which the utility bar is pivoted to provide leverage.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Joel Allen, Mark R. Martinez, Timothy Albrecht

Patent number: 8631584Abstract: A level for indicating the orientation of a surface includes a first planar surface, a second planar surface, and a web coupled to the first planar surface and the second planar surface such that the first planar surface is spaced apart from and is parallel to the second planar surface. A vial defines a long axis and contains a liquid and a gas bubble. The vial is coupled to the web such that the long axis is substantially parallel to the first planar surface. A tube deburring portion is coupled to the web and includes a male conical portion arranged to deburr an inner edge of a tube and a female conical portion arranged to deburr an outer edge of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Michael S.

Publication number: 20130056375Abstract: A hand tool and packaging assembly includes a hand tool having a first handle and a second handle pivotally coupled to the first handle. The assembly also includes a packaging for supporting the hand tool. The packaging includes a backing portion and an enclosure portion coupled to the backing portion to enclose a portion of the hand tool. The enclosure portion defines a first opening and a second opening. The first handle extends out of the enclosure portion through the first opening such that the first handle is held stationary relative to the backing portion. The second handle extends out of the enclosure portion through the second opening such that the second handle is pivotable relative to the first handle while the hand tool is supported by the packaging.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2012Publication date: March 7, 2013Inventors: Timothy Albrecht, Ryan D. Schwoegler, Brian Spranger, Jeffrey Corbat, Abhijeet A. Khangar, Joseph M. DeBaker, Scott R. Fischer

Patent number: 8336221Abstract: A level for indicating the orientation of each of a surface, a first electrical device, or a second electrical device, the level including a first planar surface, a second planar surface, a web, and a vial. The web is coupled to the first planar surface and the second planar surface such that the first planar surface is spaced apart from and is parallel to the second planar surface. The vial has a long axis and contains a liquid and a gas bubble and is coupled to the web such that the long axis is substantially parallel to the first planar surface. A first perimeter is formed as part of the web, shaped substantially the same as a portion of the first electrical device, and sized to engage the portion of the first electrical device such that the vial is operable to indicate the orientation of the first electrical device.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2010Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Michael S. Steele, Wade Burch, Timothy Albrecht, Michael Phillips, Brandon Miller

Publication number: 20120000019Abstract: A pliers that includes a first member and a second member pivotally coupled to the first member. The pliers includes a head, a handle, a first end defining a nose of the head portion, and a second end, opposite the first end, defined by the handle of the pliers. Ridges are disposed on the first and the second members adjacent the nose and together define a grip of the pliers. Sharp edges of the first and second members are adjacent the ridges and between the ridges and the second end of the pliers and together define a cutter of the pliers. An aperture extends through the first member adjacent a pivot and between the pivot and the second end of the pliers, and the threaded aperture and the second member define a threaded fastener cutter of the pliers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2011Publication date: January 5, 2012Inventors: Michael S.
