A battery pack that includes a housing connectable to and supportable by a tool. The battery pack also includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The controller is connected to one or more sensors which provide data to the controller related to operational characteristics of the battery pack. The controller stores the operational characteristics of the battery pack in the memory. The battery pack also includes a battery pack black box. The controller communicates with the black box using a wired communication bus and transmits the stored operational characteristics of the battery pack to the black box. The battery pack black box is capable of transmitting the stored operational characteristics wirelessly to a device external to the battery pack.

The present disclosure generally relates to quick change attachments for a pneumatic percussive tool. The attachments convert a pneumatic percussive tool, such as an air impact tool with proximal attachment, which has a pushing force, into a pneumatic percussive tool having a pulling force. Once attached to the pneumatic percussive tool, the attachments also provide a quick change feature for allowing pulling tools to be simply and easily removed and replaced.

A hydraulic hammer includes a housing defining a cutout and a power cell slidably received within the housing. The power cell includes a valve assembly extending from a side of the power cell. The valve assembly is at least partially received within the cutout of the housing. The hydraulic hammer further includes a pair of wear plates at least partially disposed around the valve assembly of the power cell. Each of the pair of wear plates is coupled to at least one of the power cell and the housing.

A ground stake kit includes at least one elongated ground stake having a top end, a bottom end and a middle portion. The stake being constructed from a weather resistant material plastic or composite material and having a rough textured outer surface. A cap is secured to the top end of the ground stake and is constructed from a hardened material such as metal to receive repeated impacts from the striker of an air hammer. A sleeve aligns the stake with an air hammer. The sleeve includes a first end having a shape and size that is complementary to the neck of an air hammer, and a second end having an alignment collar for receiving the cap and first end of the ground stake.

A tool assembly and an attachment apparatus are provided, including a drive shaft extending along a longitudinal direction and forming a groove. A latch includes a notch configured to extend into the groove at the drive shaft. A coupler extends along the longitudinal direction and forms a cavity extending along the longitudinal direction. A tool end opening is formed at the first end of the coupler through which the drive shaft extends into the cavity along the longitudinal direction. The coupler forms a latch opening extending along the longitudinal direction and into the cavity. The latch is positioned in the cavity through the latch opening. A collar extends at least partially around the coupler. The collar is articulatable along the longitudinal direction around the latch opening.

An impact tool includes a housing, an impact mechanism unit, a motor, and a dust collection fan. The housing is configured to mount a dust collection attachment. The impact mechanism unit is disposed inside the housing. The impact mechanism unit has a front end to which a tool bit is mounted and an impact element that reciprocates. The impact mechanism unit is configured to impact the tool bit by the impact element. The motor is disposed such that a rotation shaft of the motor intersects with an impact axis direction of the impact mechanism unit inside the housing. The dust collection fan is disposed on the rotation shaft. The dust collection fan is disposed below the motor.

An electrically driven orthopedic impactor may include an adapter for interfacing between the orthopedic impactor and a surgical implement. The adapter may have a first surface that transmits a forward impact energy and a second surface that transmits a reverse impact energy. The adapter can connect to the surgical implement and to the orthopedic impactor without the use of external tools. The adapter may connect to the orthopedic impactor via a pushing motion and may disconnect from the orthopedic impactor via a reciprocal sleeve. A sensor can communicate a spatial orientation of the adapter with respect to at least one reference point that is not located on the adapter or the orthopedic impactor. A communication device may transmit information to the orthopedic impactor related to frequency or impact energy settings based on a type of surgical implement attached to the adapter.

A powered hammer assembly includes a powered hammer including an output shaft and an axial impact mechanism. The assembly also includes an attachment including an impact portion defining a first axis. The impact portion is fixed to the body and is immovable relative to the body. The impact portion is configured to receive repeated impacts from the powered hammer. The attachment further comprises a receiving portion in which a rod to be driven into the ground is receivable. The clamping portion defines a second axis that is parallel with the first axis.

A rotary power tool includes a housing having a motor housing portion and a handle portion extending therefrom. An electric motor is positioned within the motor housing portion. The rotary power tool further includes a trigger switch configured to activate and deactivate the motor. The rotary power tool further includes a non-contact speed selector switch positioned in the housing. The non-contact speed selector switch is configured to adjust a rotational speed of the motor. The non-contact speed selector switch is separate from the trigger switch.
