An improved hammer drill adapter, that is to be inserted into the variable-diameter, chuck end of a hammer drill for driving forward any one of a plurality of different types of sheet metal cleats to join the opposing ends of two sheet metal, duct sections, includes: (a) an elongated shaft having a drive end and a working end and a centerline between said ends, (b) the drive end configured to be releasably held in the hammer drill's chuck, (c) the working end having an elongated flat, front face that has top and bottom surfaces, two ends and with the front face oriented so that a perpendicular to the front face is parallel to the shaft's centerline, (d) the front face has an elongated cavity and a front face channel that are oriented approximately perpendicular to each other, and (e) wherein this cavity is configured to accommodate within it the end of a flat drive cleat, and the cavity and front face channel together are configured to accommodate within them the end of a standing drive cleat.

A hand-held power tool includes a housing in which a drive unit and an impact-mechanism unit are arranged. The hand-held power tool further includes a tool-receiver interface configured to releasably connect with a tool receiver, the tool receiver configured as a stirrer-basket receiver. A user interface is configured to set at least one of a rotary-hammer mode and a stirring mode for the hand-held power tool.

A drilling chuck for operation on an impact drilling spindle, which can be subjected to tangential loading, with a chuck body, which is connected or connectable to the impact drilling spindle in which jaw guides are formed, which run inclined to the chuck axis in which jaw guides and clamping jaws are guided, which can be adjusted by a threaded ring, with a clamping sleeve, which can be coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to the threaded ring, and with a locking device, which is adjustable between a release configuration, which enables a relative rotation of the threaded ring with respect to the chuck body and a locking configuration, which obstructs or prevents this relative rotation. The locking device is formed from a locking sleeve, which is mounted essentially rotationally fixed but axially displaceable with respect to the chuck body, which comprises at least one locking member.

A method for tightening or loosening components of a hammer assembly is comprises inserting a tool into an aperture defined by at least one component of the hammer assembly in order to engage the drive structure of a tensioning member, moving the drive structure of the tensioning member, and moving at least one draw member operatively associated with the tensioning member.

A bit adapter is provided, which includes a bit-installing portion, a middle portion, and a shank portion. The bit-installing portion has a hexagonal socket hole for receiving a drill tip of a first size. The middle portion is extended from a rear portion of the front chuck portion for a specific length. The shank portion is extended from a rear portion of the middle portion and having a hexagonal cross-section of a second size. The shank portion is configured to be received by a drill. A bit adapter set with four different sizes of bit adapters enables a user to have a flexibility to choose drills and drill bits. A three-piece bit adapter increases the flexibility still further.

A rotary hammer includes a spindle that rotates, a reciprocation mechanism including a piston within the spindle and operable to create a variable pressure air spring within the spindle, an anvil within the spindle for reciprocation in response to the pressure of the air spring, the anvil imparting axial impacts to a tool bit, a port in one of the spindle or the piston, and a closure movable relative to the port between a first position, in which the closure member seals the port and an interior volume of the spindle between the piston the anvil is sealed to develop the variable pressure air spring, and a second position, in which the closure member is spaced apart from the port and the interior volume of the spindle between the piston and the anvil is unsealed and unable to develop the variable pressure air spring.
