A bolt assembly () enables a user to change a circular blade () on a power tool () without the use of tools. The bolt assembly includes a bolt body () that has a bolt head () and a shank () that extends axially from the bolt head. The bolt head has a shoulder and the shank has external threads that mate with a threaded bore () of a drive shaft () of the power tool. A grip body () is formed circumferentially around the bolt head to facilitate rotation of the bolt body by the user's hand. An upper washer (), a needle roller thrust bearing (), and a lower washer () are positioned on the bolt head and retained with a retaining clip (). The bolt body is rotated to press the lower washer against a clamping surface of the circular blade. The bolt assembly permits rotation of the lower washer relative to the bolt body without rotating the bold body.

A storage system includes a computer storage compartment, a first shelf, and a first power configuration unit. The first power configuration unit has a first base and a first bridge, the first bridge extending from the first base and spanning above the first shelf. A first plurality of dividers are connected to the first bridge and extend downward toward the first shelf, the first plurality of dividers forming first individual storage bays within the computer storage compartment and the first plurality of dividers do not contact the first shelf. The power configuration units are modular to enable the storage system to selectively contain power configuration units designed to provide AC power, DC power, or a mix of both AC and DC power within the storage system depending on the power requirements of the portable computing devices to be stored therein.

A rapidly deployable floor power system includes a base unit for supplying low voltage DC power to one or more foldable power tracks. Each foldable power track has a set of rigid track sections with exposed track power contacts on a top surface. The rigid track sections are electrically and mechanically interconnected by flexible track connectors that enable the power track to be folded when the power track is to be moved or stored, and unfolded for rapid deployment in an area to be supplied with power. The rigid track sections lie approximately flush with the floor to minimize tripping potential. Magnetic connectors engage the track to obtain power from the track, and are used to electrically interconnect adjacent tracks. A power distribution unit supplies power via low voltage ports such as USB ports and/or via one or more power whips equipped with barrel jack tips.

A fence system for a miter saw is configured to be adjusted along a horizontal axis while remaining aligned with the support table. The fence system includes a fence body defining first and second slots and an aperture, and a fixed base including first, second, and third bores. A first bushing extends through the first slot and includes a first opening, and a second bushing extends through the second slot and includes a second opening. A first fastener extends through the first opening into the first bore to clamp the first bushing to the fixed base, a second fastener extends through the second opening into the second bore to clamp the second bushing to the fixed base, and a third fastener extends through the opening into the third bore to releasably clamp the fence body to the fixed base.
