Abstract:

A system for managing a power tool includes a tool implement and a tool base releasably attachable to the tool implement. The tool implement includes a working end, a memory storing an information parameter, and an electronic processor configures to transmit the information parameter. The tool base includes a base housing, an electric motor, a rotatable output shaft coupled to the electric motor, an electrical interface coupled to the electronic processor, and a controller including a first and second electronic processor. Through the electrical interface, the controller is configured to receive the information parameter, by the first and second processors, as first and second data, determine whether the first data and the second data agree, and enable a function of the motor of the tool base in response to determining that the first data and the second data agree.

Abstract:

A power tool includes a power tool base having a base housing and a motor supported by the base housing. The power tool also includes a power tool implement selectively coupled to the power tool base. The power tool implement includes an implement housing and a working end coupled to the implement housing. One of the power tool base and the power tool implement includes a first interface portion having a protrusion. The other one of the power tool base and the power tool implement includes a second interface portion having an opening configured to receive the first interface portion. The power tool implement is coupled to the power tool base in response to axially moving the first interface portion into the second interface portion and rotating the implement housing relative to the base housing such that the protrusion of the first interface portion engages the second interface portion.

Abstract:

A vacuum cleaner including a debris collection container having an outer perimeter and a lid removably coupled to the debris collection container. The lid has a periphery that extends along the outer perimeter of the debris collection container. The vacuum further includes a suction source coupled to the lid and removable from the debris collection container with the lid. The suction source includes a motor and an impeller driven by the motor. The vacuum cleaner further includes an exhaust passageway downstream from the suction source for discharging an airflow from the debris collection container. The exhaust passageway extends radially outward from the impeller and toward the periphery of the lid. The vacuum cleaner further includes an exhaust outlet port in communication with the exhaust passageway. The exhaust outlet port extends along a majority of the periphery of the lid.
