Disclosed herein is an externally-powered strapping tool that includes a strapping tool assembly configured to perform one or more strapping operations; and an external power source operatively coupled thereto, the external power source being attached to the strapping tool assembly in a substantially immovable manner. Also disclosed herein is a strapping tool assembly that includes one or more strapping tool subassemblies configured to perform one or more strapping operations; a power transfer subassembly operatively coupled to the one or more strapping tool subassemblies, the power transfer subassembly configured to transfer motive power from the external power source to the one or more strapping tool subassemblies; and attachment means configured to releasably attach the strapping tool assembly to the external power source, the attachment means further configured to hold the external power source in a substantially fixed position relative to the strapping tool assembly when the attachment means is engaged.

A working head (1) for a compression or cutting tool (100) comprises a connecting portion (3) for a removable connection of the working head (1) with an actuation part (2) of the tool (100), two jaws (4) movable between an open position and a closed position to perform the compression or cutting, and a local storage (6) configured for storing one or more cumulative data representative of a stress history of the jaws (4), wherein the local storage (6) is fixed to the working head (1).

A clamp arrangement for securing an accessory to an oscillating power tool can include a clamp assembly including a first clamp member that moves relative to the accessory between a closed position wherein the clamp assembly retains the accessory and an open position wherein the first clamp is offset from the accessory permitting removal of the first accessory from the clamp assembly. The clamp assembly can further comprise a second clamp member having a first portion that opposes the first clamp member and cooperates with the first clamp member to clamp the accessory between the first and second clamp members. An attachment plate can carry the clamp assembly. The attachment plate can have a first mating detail formed thereon that is configured to selectively and removably mate with a complementary second mating detail on the power tool in an assembled position.

An accessory for use with an oscillating power tool. The accessory includes an attachment portion including a mounting aperture arrangement configured to couple with the oscillating power tool. The accessory also includes a body extending away from the attachment portion in a longitudinal direction defining a longitudinal axis, a distal end portion including a generally planar surface and a cutting edge configured to perform a material-removing operation, and a conduit extending from proximate the cutting edge towards the attachment portion. The conduit is configured to convey material removed during the material-removing operation towards a vacuum system.

The present invention relates to a connection set for connecting a tool to a hand-held machine tool, which consists of, or comprises, a receptacle and an insert. The receptacle is designed provided and/or suitable to be fastened to a machine tool and to receive an insert. The insert is designed, provided and/or suitable for being fastened to the tool and for being releasably, at least in sections, inserted into the receptacle. In this, both the receptacle and the insert are continuous in the longitudinal direction and circumscribe each a lumen. Furthermore, the receptacle comprises one or several stationary pins projecting from an inner wall into the lumen and one or several movable pins. The outside of the insert comprises one or several guides, which are provided, designed or suitable for guiding the pins along the outside of the insert when inserting the insert into the lumen of the receptacle.

A work tool includes a housing, a spindle, a clamp shaft, a biasing member, an operation member, a motion-converting mechanism and a pushing-down member. The spindle is supported to be rotatable around a driving axis. The clamp shaft is movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle. The biasing member is configured to bias the clamp shaft upward relative to the spindle so as to apply to the clamp shaft a clamping force for clamping a tool accessory between a head part of the clamp shaft and a lower end portion of the spindle. The motion-converting mechanism is configured to move the pushing-down member in the up-down direction along with turning of the operation member around the driving axis. The pushing-down member is configured to be moved downward so as to push the tool accessory downward when the operation member is turned in a first direction.
