A power tool communication system including an external device including a first controller configured to transmit, via wireless communication to a power tool, configuration data including a work light duration parameter value and a work light brightness parameter value. The power tool includes a housing, a brushless direct current (DC) motor, a trigger, a work light, a wireless communication circuit configured to wirelessly communicate with the external device to receive the configuration data, and a second controller configured to control a work light duration of the work light based on the work light duration parameter value, and control a work light brightness of the work light based on the work light brightness parameter value.

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.

Methods and apparatus for a chipping hammer adapter handle generally comprising an elongated shaft and a hammer receiver. The elongated shaft is coupled to the hammer receiver. The hammer receiver comprises a hammer handle housing configured to receive a chipping hammer handle, and at least one secure arm to secure a chipping hammer. The adapter handle further comprises a knee guard and at least one vacuum hose guide. The adapter handle allows a user to remain in a standing position while using a chipping hammer for tile removal. The more ergonomic position may prevent fatigue and health issues for the user.

An adapter for a power tool including a housing, a tool-side connector, and a battery-side connector in electrical communication with each other. The tool-side connector is configured to couple to a power tool, and the battery-side connector is configured to couple to a battery pack. The adapter also includes a communication interface configured to couple with an external device, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a state of the power tool, operate in a data transmission mode when the power tool is in the idle state, operate in a pass-through mode when the power tool is in the active state, and switch between the data transmission mode and the pass-through mode based on the state of the power tool.

A percussion tool includes a housing having a top end, a bottom end, a front end, and a rear end. The housing defines a barrel portion, a handle portion opposite the barrel portion, and a motor housing portion between the barrel portion and the handle portion. The percussion tool also includes an electric motor positioned within the motor housing portion and a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing. The striker defines a striker axis in a reciprocating direction. The percussion tool further includes a battery receptacle supported by the housing and a battery pack removably coupled to the battery receptacle for providing power to the motor. The battery pack and the battery receptacle define a battery axis extending longitudinally through the battery pack and battery receptacle. The striker axis and the battery axis are parallel.

The present invention discloses an antenna wiring sleeve, and an antenna assembly provided with the wiring sleeve. The antenna assembly comprises a pole and several antenna vertically distributed on the pole along the axial direction, each antenna being internally provided with a wiring sleeve mounted on the pole, cables on each antenna passing through the wiring sleeve in the antenna located below and passing along the axial direction of the pole through the antenna located below, each wiring sleeve comprising a sleeve body and a plurality of wiring grooves formed on a side surface of the sleeve body for the cables on the antenna to pass through. The wiring sleeve is additionally arranged on the antenna pole so as to axially wire the antenna cables along the outside of the pole, thereby saving space, achieving an aesthetically pleasing and neat appearance, and facilitating assembly.
