A vertical inverted drill press apparatus configured to extend a drill about a vertical support having a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion is configured to telescope out and away from the bottom portion when manipulated via a lever. The lever pivots about a pivot point. The lever amounts to a handle disposed in communication with an actuator which manipulates a swing arm. The swing arm is connected to the telescoping top portion. When the handle is pulled down, the top portion is forced upwards in a straight line along the primary axis of the body. A drill mount is configured to secure a drill in an inverted, drill-bit-up orientation to facilitate the drilling of holes in ceilings and similar locations.

A drilling system configured to install a tap assembly into a ship skin is disclosed. The drilling system comprises a remotely-operated underwater vehicle and a drilling assembly configured to be operated by the remotely-operated underwater vehicle. The drilling assembly comprises a frame comprising an attachment element configured to hold the drilling assembly to a surface of the ship skin. The drilling assembly further comprises a drill actuation system comprising a linear actuator attached to the frame and a rotary actuator, wherein an actuation of the linear actuator is configured to move the rotary actuator relative to the frame to install the tap assembly into the ship skin by driving the tap assembly with the rotary actuator and the linear actuator.

A handheld working tool for treating a workpiece comprises a tool nose provided for contacting the workpiece at a working point, and an indicator provided for indicating a reference point on a surface of the workpiece at a predetermined distance to the working point when the tool nose contacts the workpiece at the working point.

A drill press has a main housing, a drill unit supported by the main housing for relative movement therewith, and a base coupled to the main housing, the base includes a magnet assembly to create a magnetic field for magnetically latching the base to a workpiece. The magnet assembly is rotatably attached to the base and includes a shaft and at least one permanent magnet disposed on the shaft. The shaft is rotatable between a first position where the base would not magnetically engage the workpiece and a second position where the base would engage the workpiece. An auxiliary handle is pivotably attached to the main housing and movable from a first handle position preventing removal of a power tool battery pack from the main housing and a second handle position allowing removal of the power tool battery pack from the main housing.

A toolbox apparatus having mobility is disclosed. The mobile toolbox apparatus comprises a toolbox, a platform on which the toolbox is mounted, supporting means provided on the operative bottom surface of the platform, and at least one wheel coupled to at least one supporting means for providing mobility to the mobile toolbox apparatus. The apparatus comprises a handle coupled to the platform, wherein the handle has a telescopic configuration. The apparatus further comprises a platform extension hingeably coupled to the platform.

A tool stand includes a table having a tool support surface and a plurality of legs movable relative to the table to define a first configuration and a second configuration of the tool stand. The plurality of legs includes a first leg and a second leg, each pivotable about a first axis, and the plurality of legs further includes a third leg and a fourth leg, each pivotable about a second axis parallel to the first axis. The tool stand further includes a base frame coupled to the third and fourth legs, and a latch mechanism including a latch element movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch mechanism is configured to inhibit movement of each of the legs relative to the table when the latch element is in the latched position and the tool stand is in the first configuration.

A wind turbine blade apparatus comprising a root device including: a base having an upper surface with a radius of curvature and configured to receive a root portion of a blade, with housings disposed on lateral sides of the base. The housings including a groove configured to receive a bearing and a shaft extending at least partially through the base and housing. A tip device is also provided which includes a base, a rotatable support frame having: a first support configured to receive a pressure side of a wind turbine blade, a second support configured to receive a suction side of a wind turbine blade, and an opening, the opening configured to receive a portion of a wind turbine blade.
