Abstract: A power tool and method for recording and playing back a motor parameter. The power tool includes a housing, a motor, a trigger, and a controller. The trigger outputs an activation signal based on a user input. The controller receives a user mode selection signal indicating a selected mode. The controller enters the recording mode when the user mode selection indicates the recording mode, and records a motor parameter to generate a recorded motor parameter. The recorded motor parameter covers a first time period in which motor is operating in response to depression of the trigger, a second time period in which motor is inactive in response to release of the trigger, and a third time period in which motor is operating in response to another depression of the trigger. In the playback mode, the controller operates the motor based on the recorded motor parameter upon receiving the activation signal.

Abstract: A pneumatic tool with an improved soundproof device includes a housing whose rear end has a screw hole for supplying a high-pressure gas. The input high-pressure gas drives a pneumatic motor before it leaves the rear end of the housing. A cover covers the rear end of the housing. The cover has a penetrating hole. A guiding element has a guiding section that gradually expands outwards. The guiding element goes through the penetrating hole. An annular ventilation space is formed between the guiding section of the guiding element and the penetrating hole. A gas inlet connector is disposed in the screw hole. The shoulder part of the gas inlet connector stops the guiding element, so that the gas in the ventilation space is guided by the guiding section of the guiding element to escape.
