A power tool includes an inner housing () at least partially housed within and spaced from an outer housing (). The inner housing supports a tool (), such as a pair of shear blades, and houses a motor () that drives the tool. The outer housing includes a grip () to be grasped by a user. At least one vibration insulator (-) can be disposed between the inner housing and the outer housing and in a manner such that the vibration insulator(s) is(are) protected by the outer housing. An intake opening () and exhaust opening () can be formed in the inner housing and can be shielded by respective portions of an inner surface of the outer housing.

Power tool with vibration dampening

A power tool comprising a hollow pole, a prime mover disposed at one end of the pole, a tool disposed at the other end of the pole, a transmission shaft rotatably disposed within the pole and configured to transmit torque from the prime mover to the tool, a joint mechanism configured to support the tool such that the tool is capable of rotating with respect to the pole, a lock mechanism configured to selectively lock and unlock the joint mechanism, and a clutch mechanism disposed on a pathway of torque transmission from the prime mover to the tool via the transmission shaft, and configured to selectively connect and disconnect the pathway of torque transmission. The lock and clutch mechanisms are coupled with each other such that the clutch mechanism disconnects the pathway of torque transmission when the lock mechanism unlocks the joint mechanism.

Power tool

A power tool is provided with a first unit, a second unit rotatable with respect to the first unit, a lock operation member and a lock cooperative switch. The lock operation member is configured to be operated by the user between a lock position and an unlock position, and configured to prevent rotation of the first and second units at the lock position and allow the rotation between the first and second units at the unlock position. The lock cooperative switch is disposed on the supply circuit of energy to the prime mover, and configured to enable the supply circuit when the lock operation member is at the lock position and cutoff the supply circuit when the lock operation member is at the unlock position.

An operation switch device for use with a lawnmower includes a switch and a first operation member operably movable between an 'ON' position and an 'OFF' position. A second operation member is mounted on the first operation and is positionable in a first position where the switch is turned on and a second position where the switch is held off when the first operation member is in the 'ON' position and the 'OFF' position, respectively. A restraining member in a restraining position is operable to prevent the second operation member from moving from the second position to the first position. The restraining member in a releasing position is operable to permit the second operation member to move from the second position to the first position. A resilient member is provided for resiliently permitting the second operation member to move relative to the first operation member, so that the first operation member is movable from the 'ON' position to the 'OFF' position with the second operation member being prevented from moving from the second position to the first position by the restraining member when the restraining member is in the restraining position.
