A pocket hole jig includes a base having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The base further including a drill bit aperture positioned proximate the first end and extending through a portion of the base. The drill bit aperture oriented at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis. The pocket hole jig further includes a fence pivotally coupled to the base proximate the second end of the base. The fence including a contact surface, and the fence pivotal about an axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of the drill bit aperture.

An auto-adjusting pocket hole jig docking station including a housing and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism carried by the housing and including a first rack and a second rack reciprocally movable between raised and lowered positions, relative the body. A double pinion gear is rotatably carried by the housing with a first gear in meshing engagement with the first rack and a second gear in meshing engagement with the second rack. The first gear and the second gear having a rotational ratio therebetween wherein movement of one of the first rack and the second rack moves the other of the first rack and the second rack a distance proportional to the rotational ratio.

A cutting guide apparatus for guiding placement of bore holes in a door may include a first leg configured to be disposed along a first face of the door, a second leg configured to be disposed along a second face of the door opposite the first face, and a spacing element disposed between the first and second legs. At least one of the first leg or the second leg may include a handle hole guide structure and the spacing element may include an edge bore guide structure. A first portion of the handle hole guide structure that is proximate to the first or second face of the door may be undercut relative to a second portion of the handle hole guide structure that is opposite the first portion.

A cutting guide apparatus for guiding placement of bore holes in a door may include an engagement interface and a backset assembly. The engagement interface may be configured to retain the apparatus proximate to an edge of a door. The engagement interface may include a handle hole guide structure and an edge bore guide structure. The backset assembly may be operably coupled to the engagement interface to enable an amount of backset from the edge of the door to a center of the handle hole guide structure to be adjusted. The engagement interface may include a first leg configured to be disposed along a first face of the door, and a second leg configured to be disposed along a second face of the door. The backset assembly may be configured to engage the edge of the door at a variable location between the first and second legs.

A system and method for drilling a hole in a vehicle structure and installing a fastener in the hole. A drill plate having openings and associated machine-readable elements is positioned on the structure. A drill gun is positioned in a particular opening and reads hole information from the associated element, and a computer determines whether the drill gun is properly set-up to drill the hole. A fastener insertion gun is positioned in the particular opening and reads fastener information from the element, and the computer determines whether the hole has been drilled and, if so, whether the fastener insertion gun is properly set-up to insert the fastener. A fastener delivery subsystem stores, tracks, and delivers fasteners to the fastener insertion gun. A system computer monitors the drilling of every hole, the insertion of every fastener, and the overall operation of the fastener delivery subsystem.

A quick adjust ratcheting pocket hole jig is presented. The pocket hole jig has a base with a removable upright connected thereto. A guide assembly is slidably received within the upright. Removable and replaceable side supports are connected to the base by way of a dove tail joint. Removable and replaceable adjustable stops are connected to the base by way of key holes. A clamp assembly is connected to the base having a handle portion and a clamp follower. The clamp follower has a ratcheting mechanism and a compressible plunger assembly. The clamp follower can quickly be adjusted using a button on the clamp follower that disengages the ratcheting member such that it can be quickly adjusted. When the handle is operated, it draws the clamp follower towards the upright and guide assembly compressing the spring loaded plunger assembly thereby quickly and tightly and adjustably holding a workpiece therebetween.

A self-adjusting pocket hole jig system is presented having a base, an upright assembly operably connected to the base, a clamping assembly, operably connected to the upright assembly, a handle operably connected to the clamping assembly, and a drill guide assembly operably connected to the clamping assembly. The drill guide assembly is configured and arranged to move along the upright assembly between an unclamped position and a clamped position in response to movement of the handle. Movement of the handle simultaneously adjusts the height of the drill guide assembly as well as facilitates clamping of the drill guide assembly for workpieces of various thicknesses.

A quick grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support. A clamp body having a trigger and a release mechanism is connected to the clamping rod on a rearward side of the clamp support. The clamp body is a quick grip clamp body that facilitates quick gripping of a workpiece positioned within the support section. The clamping assembly includes a return spring and a release mechanism such that when the release mechanism is actuated the drill guide carrier and the drill guide assembly are automatically moved to a non-clamping position.

An apparatus for punching an anchor bolt insertion hole is disclosed. The apparatus enables punching work for forming the anchor bolt insertion hole, of which the bottom side is wider than an inlet, on a panel surface for constructing a concrete structure to be performed regardless of the skill of a worker. During operation, the apparatus provides the movement direction of a hammer drill into the vertical direction and the inclination direction so as to enable precise punching work, and doubly arranges springs, which are elastic devices for adjusting the movement range of the hammer drill, so as to uniformly maintain the angle and size for cutting a wall such that a cross-sectional diameter is large at a portion adjacent to the bottom of the anchor bolt insertion hole.

Wall sealing and penetrator apparatus for use in penetrating walls in dangerous conditions. An example wall sealing and penetrator apparatus includes a first portion comprising: a first housing, a first sealing element, a first vacuum port; and a second portion comprising, a second housing, a second sealing element, a second vacuum port, and a cutting element.
