QUICK CHANGE PNEUMATIC HAMMER
A pneumatic hammer extender arm assembly is provided comprising an elongated extender arm body defining a hammer engaging portion formed at a first end of the body, and a hammerhead engaging portion formed at a second end of the body. A hammerhead is detachably engageable to the hammerhead engaging portion to allow for quick change of the hammerhead without the need for any tools. The hammerhead may alternately be implemented to engage and apply an impact force to a fastener that may be axially offset from the extender arm body.

Power landscaping tool ensemble for using multiple tool heads
A power tool ensemble includes at least a power head, a first shaft coupler, and a second shaft coupler, for use with tool heads of landscaping tools. The power head includes a motor and a power shaft mechanically coupled to the motor. Each shaft coupler includes a power shaft connecter for connecting to the power shaft, and a shaft-specific connecter for connecting to tool shafts of the tool heads. In each shaft coupler, the power shaft connecter is mechanically coupled to the shaft-specific connecter. The shaft-specific connecter in the first shaft coupler has a different tool shaft configuration from the shaft-specific connecter in the second shaft coupler.

OSCILLATING POWER TOOL
An oscillating power tool includes an outer housing, and an inner housing positioned within the outer housing. A motor and a drive mechanism are supported by the inner housing. The drive mechanism includes an output shaft that is rotational in an oscillating manner and that defines an output axis. A damping element is positioned between the inner housing and the outer housing through which the inner housing is mounted to the outer housing, thereby attenuating vibration transmitted to the outer housing from the inner housing. An over-travel limit member is positioned between the inner housing and the outer housing. In response to relative movement between the inner housing and the outer housing while the power tool is in use, the limit member is configured to prevent direct contact between the inner housing and the outer housing, inhibiting vibration produced by the motor and/or drive mechanism from bypassing the damping element.

Rotary tool
A rotary tool assembly including a rotary tool having a body with a working end and a rear end, a motor disposed within the body, and a drive shaft rotatably driven by the motor. A base includes a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery pack. A power cord extends between the base and the rotary tool to transfer electric power from the base to the rotary tool to selectively power the motor.

POWER EQUIPMENT WITH DETACHABLE ACCESSORY ASSEMBLY
A power equipment including an accessory assembly detachably coupled to a first housing is provided. The accessory assembly includes a power unit interface configured to receive a motive force therethrough. A power unit is attached to a second housing. The power unit is configured to operably couple to the accessory assembly at the power unit interface to provide the motive force therethrough. A first fastener is extendable from the first housing through the accessory assembly to couple the accessory assembly to the first housing. A second fastener is extendable from the first housing to the second housing to detachably couple the power unit to the first housing and position the accessory assembly between the power unit and the first housing.
Modular tool bit holder system
A modular tool bit holder system includes an angle tool bit holder, and a flexible shaft tool bit holder. The angle tool bit holder includes a housing containing a first input shaft, a first angle gear rotatably drivable about a first axis, a second angle gear, and a first bit holder rotatably drivable by the first angle gear about a second axis at an angle to the first axis. The flexible shaft tool bit holder includes a second input shaft, a flexible intermediate shaft rotatably drivable by the second input shaft, and a second tool bit holder rotatably drivable by the flexible intermediate shaft. The angle tool bit holder and the flexible shaft tool bit holder are operable separately or in combination. A connection assembly is configured to non-rotatably couple the angle tool bit holder and the flexible shaft tool bit holder when they are operable in combination.
