A microcomputer of a driving force distribution control device detects a maximum current value among values of an upper current acquired during a predetermined period, and determines that an overcurrent abnormality has occurred in the driving force distribution control device when the maximum current value is equal to or larger than an abnormal current threshold value and a time, for which the maximum current value is equal to or larger than the abnormal current threshold value, is equal to or larger than an abnormality detection time. Then, the microcomputer performs off control to turn off a relay, and notifies a driver of occurrence of the overcurrent abnormality using a notification unit.

MULTI-SPEED POWER TOOL WITH ELECTRONIC CLUTCH

A power tool and a method of operating a power tool including a motor, a clutch collar including a plurality of settings, a wireless transceiver operable to form a wireless connection with a remote device, and a processor coupled to the clutch collar and the wireless transceiver. The processor receives, via the wireless transceiver, a mapping including a plurality of torque levels corresponding to the plurality of settings. The processor detects that the clutch collar is set to a setting of the plurality of settings. The processor determines the torque level for the setting from the mapping and detects, during the operation of the power tool, that a torque of the power tool exceeds the torque level. The processor is also configured to generate an indication that the torque exceeds the torque level. The indication may include flashing a light, ratcheting the motor, and stopping the motor.
