DROP-PREVENTION POUCH FOR CORDLESS POWER TOOLS
A drop-prevention pouch for a cordless power tool has a battery pack that defines a battery pack perimeter. The drop-prevention pouch includes a pouch floor and a sidewall extending transversely from the pouch floor and having a sidewall rim portion defining a pouch opening. The pouch floor and the pouch sidewall define a chamber sized to receive the battery pack when the battery pack is attached to the cordless power tool. The pouch sidewall defines a window opening aligned to permit the user to view a feature on the battery pack. A flexible conduit extends along the sidewall rim portion. A drawstring extends through the flexible conduit and is capable of restricting the pouch opening to be smaller than the battery pack perimeter, thereby preventing the drop-prevention pouch from being removed from the battery pack when the battery pack is attached to the cordless power tool.
Connected Workstation Service Cart
A vehicle service cart having a rolling base and a cabinet structure extending, therefrom. The service cart further comprises a plurality of handles operable to serve as wheel-mounts without disrupting rolling functions of the cart. The service cart further comprises a compressed-air tank. The service cart further comprises a specialized work surface atop the cabinet structure, the specialized work surface having specialized recesses to hold particular tools.

Surgical apparatus configured to track an end-of-life parameter
A surgical apparatus is disclosed which comprises a handle module and a detachable shaft module for collectively performing a surgical procedure. The handle module comprises a rotary drive system for driving the detachable shaft module, an electric motor coupled to the rotary drive system for powering the rotary drive system, one or more sensors, and a handle module processor circuit in communication with the one or more sensors and the electric motor. The handle module processor circuit is programmed to control the electric motor. The handle module processor circuit is also programmed to track and/or count an end-of-life parameter for the handle module based on input from the one or more sensors.
Tool repair package and replacement system
A tool repair system that aids in the repair of malfunctioned inner tool components. The system includes a package having a fully assembled component disposed on top of a component locating structure and held in place by one or more retainers. After removing the malfunctioned component, the tool can be lowered onto the component locating structure, thereby pushing the retainers off the fully assembled component and coupling the fully assembled component to the tool via an opening in the tool. Repairing the tool is therefore quick, easy, and does not require extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the tool.
Electronic Torque Wrench
A torque wrench for use in driving fasteners is provided. The wrench includes an electronics unit disposed within a housing engaged with the body of the wrench that is capable of sensing and measuring the torque applied to a fastener by the wrench and providing an output of the level of torque to the user. The data sensed by the electronics unit can be utilized to provide feedback to the user regarding the operation of the wrench, and to monitor the overall operation of the wrench for calibration purposes, among other functions. During use, the wrench can provide the user with visual, audible and tactile feedback regarding the operation of the device relative to stored maximum torque values stored in the electronics unit. The housing for the electronics unit can be formed to be a single use component of the tool or can be designed for multiple uses with a configuration that can be engaged with cradles forming the body of the wrench having various different configurations.
Chain storage case
A storage case for storing chains includes upper and lower case portions. The lower case portion includes a base wall, a sidewall extending upwardly from and surrounding the base wall to define an elongate cavity, and a plurality of protrusions extending upwardly from the base wall within the elongate cavity. The lower case portion is configured to contain a chain in an expanded state in which the chain is constrained at first and second chain ends by respective first and second protrusions. The upper case portion is movable relative to the lower case portion between a closed position and an open position.
Golf club wrench with multi-purpose tip
A golf club wrench with a bit portion having a plurality of tip features at one end of the bit portion is disclosed herein. The tip features may include threading, a Philips head shape, a flat head shape, a Torx? head shape, and a hex wrench shape. The different tip features on the wrench can be used to engage with both a mechanical fastener and a weight. The wrench may also include a handle contoured to fit within the hand of a golfer. The golf club wrench can be provided in a kit containing weights and mechanical fasteners having engagement features that mate with one or more of the tip features on the wrench.
Storage hutch assembly
A storage hutch assembly 10 including a plurality of dissimilar storage assemblies, such as power tool holder assembly 120, which may be selectively and operatively deployed within the hutch assembly 10 upon a contained shelf 30 and/or upon a storage cart, such as cart 50, and/or upon a surface such as surface 25 contained within the storage hutch assembly 10.
Air line plug connector device
An air line connector is shown and disclosed that affixes to the distal end of an air hose. The connector has a hose opening that slips over the air line. A tool opening is configured to hold and retain air tools. This allows the user to remove an air tool from the air hose and insert it into the air line connector for retention when a second tool can now be installed on the air hose. A second embodiment provides for the storage of two tools in the air line connector.
