A rotary tool including a tool body defining an axis extending between a rear end and an opposite working end, a motor configured to receive power from a power source, a drive shaft coupled to the motor with the motor, a chuck coupled to the drive shaft, and an axial adjustment mechanism. The axial adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment shaft having an axial end defining a floor of the chuck, where the floor limits an insertion depth within the chuck, and where the adjustment shaft is movable in a direction parallel to the axis between a first position defining a first insertion depth and a second position defining a second insertion depth.

Rotary tool with axial adjustment mechanism

A method for controlling a motor of a power tool including performing a load test on a battery pack of the power tool, determining, via a first controller, a first mechanism control scheme based on the load test, receiving, via the first controller, a user input indicative of beginning an operation cycle of the power tool, and isolating the first controller from a second controller. The method further including controlling, via the first controller, the motor based on the first mechanism control scheme, sensing a dataset indicative of a result of the operation cycle based on the first mechanism control scheme, receiving, via the second controller, the dataset, connecting the first controller to the second controller upon completion of the operation cycle, transmitting, via the second controller, the dataset to the first controller, and determining, via the first controller, a second mechanism control scheme based on the dataset.

A powered fastener driver includes a first cylinder, a first piston positioned within the first cylinder, a second cylinder in fluid communication with the first cylinder, and a second piston positioned within the second cylinder. The first piston is moveable between a top-dead-center position and at or near a bottom-dead-center position and the second piston is moveable between a top-dead-center position and a bottom-dead-center position to initiate a fastener driving cycle. A drive blade is coupled to the second piston for movement therewith and a drive mechanism is configured to drive the first piston between the top-dead-center position and at or near the bottom-dead-center position. The drive mechanism includes a crank arm that rotates less than 360 degrees for moving the first piston from at or near the bottom-dead-center position and the top-dead-center position and then back to at or near the bottom-dead-center position to complete the fastener driving cycle.

A power tool battery pack receptacle includes a cavity in which a portion of a battery pack is receivable, an insertion end, a closed end opposite the insertion end along an insertion axis of the battery pack, and a rail extending between the insertion end and the closed end. The rail includes a first portion having a variable height and a second portion having a substantially constant height. The first portion is positioned adjacent the insertion end and the second portion is spaced from the insertion end. The rail is configured to be received within a groove of the battery pack.

Power tool battery pack receptacle

A shaft comprises an input portion and a tang. The tang has a first section, a second section, and a radial bore. The second section is disposed between the first section and the input portion along an axis. A radial cross section of the first section is less than a radial cross section of the second section. The radial bore is disposed on the first section.

Stepped drive shaft for a power tool

A power tool coupling system for coupling two boom members of a split-boom power tool. The coupling system includes a first section and a second section. The first section is adapted to be fixedly attached to an end of a first one of the boom members. The first section includes an aperture for receiving a locating member on a second one of the boom members. The second section is movably connected to the first section. The second section is adapted to depress the locating member, while the locating member is located in the aperture of the first section, when the second section is moved from a first to a second position.

Coupling for split-boom power tool

A fixed base router is provided comprising a base having a central bore. The router includes an adjusting ring rotatably affixed to a base upper end, being coaxial with the central bore, and having a series of gear teeth formed thereto defining a ring gear. A motor housing, including a motor for imparting rotational motion to a tool holder, is threadably engaged with the adjusting ring. A pinion gear, journaled for rotation relative to the base, is engaged with the ring gear, and is coupled for rotation with a dial extending from the base. The base is adapted to prevent rotation of the motor housing relative thereto, such that rotation of the adjusting ring axially translates the motor housing relative to the base. The router includes a scale and indicator for indicating fine adjustment of the motor housing relative to the base.
