A rotary power tool includes a housing having a motor housing portion and a handle portion extending therefrom. An electric motor is positioned within the motor housing portion. The rotary power tool further includes a trigger switch configured to activate and deactivate the motor. The rotary power tool further includes a non-contact speed selector switch positioned in the housing. The non-contact speed selector switch is configured to adjust a rotational speed of the motor. The non-contact speed selector switch is separate from the trigger switch.

A drain cleaner assembly including a base unit having a housing, a first portion of a drive arrangement supported by the housing, and a motor coupled to the drive arrangement, where the motor is operable to selectively drive the drive arrangement. A drum unit is removably coupled to the base unit. The drum unit includes a rotatable drum, a cable stored within the drum and selectively extendable out of the drum and into a drain, and a second portion of the drive arrangement, where the second portion of the drive arrangement includes a driven shaft extending along an axis of rotation of the rotatable drum, where the driven shaft is rotatably fixed to the rotatable drum, and wherein the first portion of the drive arrangement is configured to drive the driven shaft and the rotatable drum when the drum unit is coupled to the base unit.

Drain cleaner

A drain cleaner assembly including a base unit including a housing, a drive arrangement positioned within the housing, and a motor coupled to the drive arrangement and supported by the housing, the motor operable to selectively drive the drive arrangement, and a drum unit removably coupled to the base unit. The drum unit includes a drum that engages the drive arrangement when the drum unit is coupled to the base unit to rotate the drum, a cable stored within the drum and selectively extendable out of the drum and into a drain, and an outer casing at least partially surrounding the drum, wherein the drum is rotatable within the outer casing, wherein the drive arrangement includes a coupling arrangement between the motor and the drum, the drive arrangement extending through the outer casing.

A drain clearing air gun includes a housing defining a main body, a handle positioned on a first end of the main body, and a nose positioned on a second end of the main body. A tank is at least partially positioned within the housing and includes a chamber for receiving pressurized air. A motor is positioned within a main body of the housing, and a pump is positioned within the main body of the housing and operatively coupled to the motor. The pump is driven by the motor to pump air into the tank. A pressure gauge is supported by the housing and includes an automatic shutoff feature. The pressure gauge is in fluid communication with the tank. When a predetermined pressure within the tank is reached the automatic shutoff feature is activated to stop the motor.

A drain cleaner includes a base unit having a housing, a drive arrangement positioned within the housing, and a motor coupled to the drive arrangement and supported by the housing. The motor is operable to selectively drive the drive arrangement. The drain cleaner also includes a drum unit removably coupled to the base unit. The drum unit has a drum that engages the drive arrangement when the drum unit is coupled to the base unit to rotate the drum, and a cable stored within the drum and selectively extendable out of the drum and into a drain.

A drain clearing air gun includes a housing defining a main body, a handle positioned on a first end of the main body, and a nose positioned on a second end of the main body. A tank is at least partially positioned within the housing and includes a chamber for receiving pressurized air, where the tank has a first portion and a second portion that are coupled together to form the chamber. The first portion is disposed within the nose of the housing and is formed of a first material. The second portion is disposed within the main body of the housing and is formed of a second material that is different than the first material.
