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.

An adapter for a power tool includes 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 power tool comprises a housing and an inner assembly mounted at least partially within the housing and configured to move between a first position and a second position with respect to the housing. The inner assembly comprises a motor assembly. The power tool also comprises a mounting frame for guiding the inner assembly between the first position and the second position and having a cable guide for guiding at least part of a cable connected between the motor assembly and a component fixed relative to the housing.

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.

A hand-held power tool, in particular a demolition hammer, includes an outer housing in which an electric motor for actuating an insert tool and an electronic unit for controlling the electric motor are accommodated. The outer housing has an opening into which a first interface module with an electromechanical interface for accommodating an exchangeable, rechargeable battery pack or at least a second interface module with a mains cable can be inserted as desired, in particular by a manufacturer of the hand-held power tool, to supply power to the electric motor and the electronic unit. Furthermore, a system including the hand-held power tool and the at least two interface modules is disclosed.
