A laser stand for supporting a laser leveling device during construction involving metal studs and leg tracks provides a planar shelf including a first end and a second end, at least one first leg depending from the first end, at least one second leg depending from the second end, and a magnet enclosure mounted to the second leg and including at least one magnet for supporting the leveling device while attached to the metal stud. The shelf is configured for pivotably accommodating the leveling device and the stand is configured for supporting the leveling device when placed over the leg track on a substrate or attached to the metal stud.

A new and improved remote trigger actuating mechanism for a power tool comprises an elongated handle or pole which is provided with a handgrip upon a rear end portion, while a mounting bracket, into which a forward end portion of the elongated handle or pole is fixedly engaged, is fixedly mounted upon a rear end portion of the power tool as a result of being bolted directly thereto by suitable bolt fasteners. A spring-biased sleeve member is concentrically disposed about the elongated handle or pole, and a trigger actuator linkage member has a rear end portion thereof fixedly mounted upon the spring-biased sleeve member while a forward end portion of the trigger actuator linkage member is provided with a hooked portion which is adapted to engage the trigger mechanism of the power tool. The spring-biased sleeve member is normally biased to a forward extended position by a coil spring such that the trigger actuator linkage member does not normally engage the trigger mechanism of the power tool, however, when the spring-biased sleeve member is manually moved in the rearward direction against the spring-biasing force of the coil spring, the trigger actuator or linkage member will engage and actuate the trigger mechanism of the power tool whereby the power tool will be energized.

A flute holder comprises a bracket-engaging portion configured to engage a bracket, and a tool-engaging sleeve connected to the bracket-engaging portion and configured to engage a tool. A holding passage is at least partially defined within the tool-engaging sleeve.

Flute holder

A flute positioner is provided for positioning a fastener in a tool barrel, and includes a body, a throughbore extending through the body, and at least one holding member extending into the throughbore. One or more extensions may extend radially outward from the body.
