A handheld power tool includes a housing, a tool receptacle disposed on a first end of the housing and configured to receive a tool accessory, a motor positioned within the housing and operatively coupled to the tool receptacle to drive the tool accessory, and a dust collection assembly integrated within the housing. The dust collection assembly includes a fan disposed within the housing and operatively coupled to the motor. The fan is configured to generate a suction airflow due to rotation of the motor, and a dust container removably coupled to the housing of the power tool. The dust container is configured to collect dust and other debris generated by the tool accessory during operation of the handheld power tool.

Integrated dust extractor and power tool

A handheld power tool including a housing, a tool receptacle disposed on a first end of the housing and configured to receive a tool accessory, and a motor positioned within the housing and operatively coupled to the tool receptacle to drive the tool accessory. A dust container is selectively coupled to the housing. A dust tube is coupled to the first end of the housing and in fluid communication with the dust container, wherein the dust tube is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. A fan is positioned within the housing and is operable to generate a suction air flow path through the dust tube and into the dust container, wherein the fan rotatably driven by the motor.

A dust collector for use with a hand-held power tool includes a housing, a suction pipe coupled to the housing, and an electric motor positioned in the housing. The dust collector additionally includes a suction fan driven by the electric motor and operable to generate a vacuum in the suction pipe, and a depth stop assembly. The depth stop assembly is configured to limit the axial movement of the suction pipe. The depth stop assembly is configured to be alternately positioned on opposite sides of the suction pipe in a first configuration and a second configuration, respectively.
