Abstract

A rotary power tool assembly including a rotary power tool and an accessory. The rotary power tool includes a rotatable spindle and a first mating member. The accessory includes a housing, a hub configured to be coupled to the spindle, a ball detent disposed selectively engageable with the spindle to axially lock the accessory to the power tool, and a sleeve axially slidable between a first position in which the sleeve biases the ball detent radially inward and into engagement with the spindle, and a second position in which the ball detent is disengageable from the spindle to release the accessory from the rotary power tool. The accessory further includes a second mating member received within the sleeve and axially fixed to the arms of the housing. The first and second mating members rotationally fix the accessory to the rotary power tool.
