A cutting apparatus for trimming an article, the apparatus has a manually grasped power element with a reciprocating arm having a removably engagable rotatable couple including a selectable rotational index position lock. Also included is a cutting head assembly that is removable and rotationally indexable relative to the power element, the cutting head having a pair of reciprocating cutting blades for trimming the article. Wherein operationally, the reciprocating arm drives the cutting blades that have reciprocating movement with the cutting head selectably rotatable to the power element, user wrist fatigue is reduced, also with the cutting head being removable from the power element, the cutting head assembly is easier to clean.

A hydraulically activated cutting tool with first and second pivoting jaws that can pivot around a shared pivot axis is provided. A blade is formed on the first pivoting jaw and a stop is formed on the second pivoting jaw. The blade has a cutting edge that runs in the direction of the pivot axis. A gripping section is formed on the second pivoting jaw and protrudes over a stop surface of the stop in the direction toward the first pivoting jaw. A method for separating an H-tap crimped connection of two cables with a cutting tool is also provided.

A power tool includes a housing having a first portion defining a forward end of the housing, a second portion defining a rearward end of the housing, an upper surface extending rearwardly from the forward end, and a lower surface extending forwardly from the rearward end. The power tool also includes a motor positioned within the housing, a drive mechanism coupled to the motor and positioned within the housing, an output element coupled to the drive mechanism at the forward end of the housing, a battery pack supported at the rearward end of the housing and electrically coupled to the motor, and an actuator operable to selectively power the motor to drive the drive mechanism and the output element. The actuator is supported by the housing forward of and above the battery pack.

An auxiliary device for an electric nail gun header structure mainly inserts a head cover body adapted to position and lock a nail gun header with an extended locking frame; the end of the head cover body is used to cover the end of a gun body completely; the bottom of the head cover body is extend with two flange sheets opposite to each other to cover the two sides of a grip of the nail gun, forming particular, stable covering. Therefore, the head cover structure will not be displaced or rotated upon one-handed operation, thereby ensuring the convenience and safety of the operation of the nail gun.
