Disclosed is a child-resistant cigarette packaging closure. The cigarette packaging closure includes an inner tube, an outer tube, and a top cap. The inner tube is configured to removably retain at least one cigarette inside the inner periphery of the inner tube. The inner tube is configured to be slidably positioned inside the outer tube. The top cap is configured to be lifted off the open end of the outer tube when the outer tube slides relative to the inner tube. The cigarette packaging closure is configured to be accessed by a user that is capable of applying sufficient force, thereby ensuring that the children's accessibility of the cigarette(s) placed inside the inner periphery of the inner tube.

An in-line blower having a housing with a substantially straight airflow path. A motor and fan are positioned within the airflow path, below the handle of the blower. A battery powers the motor, and is located below the housing so that the handle, motor and fan, and the battery are vertically aligned so the weight of the blower is aligned with the handle, and reduces moment forces acting thereon.

Axial-fan blower

According to examples, a modular power tool may include a motor housing including an electric motor, a drive member connected to the electric motor, the drive member being connected to a drive coupler, an extension pole including an input shaft having a first end connector and a second end connector, in which the first end connector is configured to mate with the drive coupler, and an attachment component having an attachment connector and a working implement, in which the attachment component is configured to mate with either of the drive coupler and the second end connector.

Modular power tool

A battery pack including a battery cell assembly, the battery cell assembly having a battery cell with a first end and a second end. A circuit board is adjacent to the battery cell and extending from the first end to the second end. A first electrical connector is disposed at the first end and connects a first end of the circuit board to the first end of the battery cell. A second electrical connector is disposed at the second end and connects a second end of the circuit board to the second end of the battery cell. A third electrical connector is disposed at the first end of the circuit board, the third electrical connector can be electrically connected to a powered device so that power from the battery cell may be provided to the powered device through the third electrical connector. A housing houses the battery cell assembly.

Battery charger and method of charging a battery

A method for operating a shearing tool that includes: operating a first switch to control a drive unit to drive a blade of a blade set; and operating a second switch to cause the drive unit to operate in an anti-binding mode in which a direction of an input to the drive unit is alternated at least twice. A shearing tool is also provided.

Shearing tool

A battery pack includes a housing, at least one battery cell housed in the housing, a wireless transmitter housed in the housing, a button that initiates a pairing with an electronic device so that the battery pack may wirelessly communicate with the electronic device through the wireless transmitter, a connection section including a first electrical connector configured to supply power to a power tool and a charging port configured to supply power to an external device. The charging port can be in an on state in which the charging port is operable to supply power to the external device and an off state in which the charging port is not operable to supply power to the external device.

Power tool with USB connection

A combination coaster and trivet that is made of a flexible silicon material. It is molded into a generally square form that have several slits formed in it. These slits allow the form to be folded generally square for use as a coaster, or expanded to form a larger apparatus suitable for use as a trivet. The form has a button formed on one end and a corresponding slot on the other end that allows the user to lock the ends together making a flower like form. Moreover because the material is flexible, the form can be used vertically. Locked together, the device can be used as a potholder to lift and carry hot bowls or pots. For example, the device can be wrapped around a bowl and placed in a microwave oven. When the cooking is complete, the user can remove the hot bowl safely by gripping the device.
