A lanyard for a power tool includes at least two belts including a first belt and a second belt attached to each other at a single junction. The lanyard may also include an accessory mounted on the belt that is freely rotatable around the belt.

A power tool assembly is provided including a portable power tool, at least one first auxiliary part connected in a functional manner to the portable power tool, and a lanyard mounted on the power tool and the at least one first auxiliary part to hold the at least one first auxiliary part functionally connected to the portable power tool when the power tool assembly is dropped. The lanyard may include a belt and a sheaf surrounding the belt, where visual information is provided on the external surface of the sheaf.

A prior art powered wrist pin knocker is improved with a new plunger that prevents wobbling. The new plunger responds to a return vacuum pressure. The improved plunger is symmetrical along a longitudinal axis. New embodiments include a new side mount valve head to reduce length, a remote air controller and a variable length cylinder for the cannon. The new valve head is a simplified valve head assembly that adapts to an end of the cannon mount or a side mount or a remote mount. Another embodiment provides a stand for a surface mount application. This embodiment can have an extended piston for loosening tail bearings down a long channel. A manual return embodiment can use a rod to manually return the plunger to the proximal end for another firing cycle.

A drill holder includes a base, an elongate support member extending substantially perpendicularly from the base, and an arm mounted to the support member. The arm extends substantially perpendicularly from the support member and is free to slide along at least a portion of the support member. The arm includes holding means for holding a drill and a weight.

A mining or construction vehicle comprising a boom extending in a first direction, which boom, via a first and a second rotation device, is connected to a hydraulic device arranged on a mounting device arranged at a free end of said boom, the first rotation device being arranged to provide a rotation around a first axis that is substantially parallel to the first direction, and a second rotation device being arranged to provide a rotation around a second axis that is arranged at an angle with respect to the first axis. Hydraulic conduits for supply of hydraulic fluid to said hydraulic device on said mounting device are arranged through at least one of the first and second rotation devices.

A power tool accessory for elevating the base of a power tool from off a work surface and a method of use. The accessory or ski comprises a bridge, a first side wall coupled to the bridge, and a second side wall coupled to the bridge opposite the first side wall. The bridge, the first side wall, and the second side wall form an upper surface and an opening through which a power cord may pass. The upper surface is configured to receive a base of a power tool. Because the ski elevated the power tool from off of a work surface, dust, debris, and grit is not brought into the intake of the power tool, the power cord is not kinked, and the base of the power tool is not worn down on the work surface.
