A power tool including a housing and a motor housed in the housing. There is a spring engine housed in the housing and a driver blade driven by the spring engine. Additionally, the power tool holds a pipe clamp configured to be driven into a workpiece by the driver blade.

Pipe clamp, pipe clamp driver and anti-backdrive mechanism

A cordless compressor has an air storage tank, a pump, a motor for driving the pump, and a controller circuit electrically connected to the motor. A pressure switch assembly is connected to the controller circuit. The pressure switch assembly has first and second pressure switches for sensing pressure within the air storage tank. The controller circuit controls de-activation of the motor depending upon status of the first and second pressure switches.

Cordless compressor

A tool is provided for applying fasteners to a workpiece. The tool as a magazine that carries multiple fasteners and is carried by a housing. A driver blade is provided to drive a lead fastener into a workpiece. The driver blade has a driving edge with a profile that includes driving projections, having curved contact surface for contact with curved edges of the fastener, and a relief portion therebetween that is recessed relative to both projections and contact surfaces. Further, the tool includes a lockout assembly for limiting movement of the driver blade and contact trip, thereby limiting activation of the motor. The pusher may include a pusher lockout surface that is designed for movement in an opposite direction to a feed direction by the contact trip as well as configured to slide over a locking art of the contact trip when the fasteners are empty or nearly empty.

Fastener tool

A handle for a power tool is provided including a field case and front handle portion formed as a single piece. The front handle portion has an opening in a rear side thereof for receiving the wiring for the power tool. The wiring is connected to a motor that is mounted in the field case. A rear handle portion is attached to the front handle portion for covering the opening in the rear of the front handle portion. An end cap is connected to a rear of the field case for covering the remaining exposed wires connected to the motor. With the front handle design, the wire-up of the power tool can be completed from one side of the tool without having to turn the tool over during the wire-up process.
