A multifunction straight edge guide having a handle and a straight edge. The handle has a plurality of perimeter surfaces and the straight edge has a mating edge to mate with one of the perimeter surfaces to interconnect the handle and the straight edge. The handle has three sections, two outer sections and a central support ledge. The outer sections define sidewalls which are generally perpendicular to the support ledge so that the straight edge guide can be used with either the left or right hand by turning the straight edge guide over. Each of the plurality of perimeter surfaces are angled with respect to the sidewalls.

This invention relates generally to power tools, and more particularly to a portable, multifunction saw and uses thereof (e.g., for household, commercial (e.g., for use in window removal and replacement) and medical (e.g. for bone cutting) applications).

An attachable rolling plate assembly which is attached as a single unit to a portable cutting tool to facilitate the safe rolling movement of the portable cutting tool on a workpiece. The invention comprises a frame assembly formed from a single piece of molded material such as fiber enriched high-impact nylon having a pair of oppositely disposed longitudinal sidewalls and a flat base portion having an opening through which a saw blade of a power saw extends. The invention also includes a cutting guide assembly to facilitate a straight cut, reduce torsional rotation of the saw blade and reduce kickback of the saw. A water spray hose is retained to spray water in front of a saw blade of a retained worm drive power saw.

An assembly for supporting the extended operation of mounted power hand tools is provided. The power tool extension apparatus extends between a baton-style handle and a depth-adjusting single wheel correlated to enable the operator to control the mounted power hand tool in a one-handed walk along manner. The alignment of the power tool extension apparatus, the mounted power tool, and the centrally disposed single wheel facilitates a wide range of selective pivotal motion of the single wheel and thus the mounted power tool about the extension apparatus.

A system for cutting narrow workpieces having a track that extends a width between a cutting edge and a non-cutting edge. One or more measuring bodies are connected to a slot adjacent the non-cutting edge that include a measuring bar that extends forward from the front side of the measuring body and under the track as well as extends rearward from the rear side of the measuring body. The measuring bar slides within the measuring body to accommodate the desired workpiece thickness. The measuring bar includes measuring indicia and a measuring member that facilitates measurement of workpiece thickness. Measuring body includes a locking member that locks the measuring bar at a desired thickness. Measuring member may be adjusted to calibrate the measuring member to the track and saw using a locking member. Measuring body also includes a support leg and associated locking mechanism that levels the measuring body.
