An axial blower includes a fan, housing, and intake grate. The fan has a rotational axis. The housing surrounds the fan. The housing includes an inlet, fluid intake volume, outlet, and battery interface. The inlet is disposed at a position along the rotational axis upstream of the fan. The fluid intake volume is upstream of the inlet. The outlet is disposed at a position along the rotational axis downstream of the fan. The distal projection extends away from the inlet in an upstream direction. The battery interface is coupled to the distal projection, upstream of the inlet, and suspends a battery pack in the fluid intake volume. The intake grate is positioned between the fluid intake volume and the inlet. The intake grate permits fluid flow between the fluid intake volume and the inlet. The fluid intake volume is unobstructed between the battery interface and the intake grate.

A line launcher includes a launcher body extending along a longitudinal axis between a rear end and a front end. The line launcher further includes a handle, a trigger, and a removable battery. The line launcher further includes a compressed gas charge assembly. The line launcher further includes an elongated barrel coupled to the body at the front end. The line launcher further includes a throwline assembly, the throwline assembly including a projectile and a throwline, the projectile insertable into and ejectable from the elongated barrel.

Line launchers

A handheld cutting tool includes a motor, a driven gear coupled to the motor and a sprocket coupled for co-rotation with the driven gear, a housing, a guide bar extending from the housing, a chain supported on the guide bar and engaged with the sprocket such that rotation of the sprocket moves the chain along the guide bar, and a battery pack removably coupled to the housing, the battery pack including a foot portion defining a base plane. The center of gravity of the handheld cutting tool is located above the foot portion when the handheld cutting tool is stood upright on the foot portion, thus permitting the handheld cutting tool to balance only on the foot portion of the battery pack.

Powered handheld cutting tool

A power tool includes a switch moveable between a first position enabling activation of a motor and a second position disabling the motor. The power tool includes a trigger movably coupled to a housing of the power tool between an OFF position and an ON position. The switch moves from the second position to the first position in response to the trigger moving from the OFF position to the ON position. The power tool includes a trigger lock-off pivotably coupled to the housing between a lock position and an unlock position. The trigger lock-off is engageable with the trigger to inhibit movement of the trigger from the OFF position to the ON position when the trigger lock-off is in the lock position. The trigger lock-off allows movement of the trigger from the OFF position to the ON position when the trigger lock-off is in the unlock position.

Chainsaw

A handheld cutting tool includes a housing including a motor housing portion, a drive housing portion, and a handle portion extending from one of the motor housing portion or the drive housing portion. A motor is located in the motor housing portion. A driven gear is coupled to the motor for receiving torque therefrom. A first guard extends between the handle portion and one of the drive housing portion or the motor housing portion, and a second guard extends between the drive housing portion and one of the handle portion and the motor housing portion. A guide bar extends from the drive housing portion at an angle offset relative to the handle portion and the first and second guards. A chain is supported on the guide bar, and a battery pack is removably coupled to a bottom part of the handle portion.

Concrete vibrator

A handheld cutting tool includes a motor, a driven gear coupled to the motor for receiving torque therefrom and a sprocket coupled for co-rotation with the driven gear, a handle guard extending from handle portion, a chain supported on a guide bar and engaged with the sprocket such that rotation of the sprocket moves the chain along the guide bar, and a battery pack removably coupled to an end of the handle portion. The handle guard includes a support face configured to support the handheld cutting tool on a horizontal support surface, and the battery pack includes a foot portion. A center of gravity of the handheld cutting tool is located above the foot portion and permits balancing of the handheld cutting tool in an upright position on only the foot portion.
