Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a handheld power tool with a touch screen. In an embodiment, the interactive power tool comprises a power source, a video display mounted on a surface of a housing, the video display being integrated with a touch sensitive display, one or more sensors attached to the housing, and processing circuitry, within the housing and electrically coupled to the power source, configured to identify a type of an attachment connected to the interactive power tool, switch the video display to display image data associated with the type of the attachment, receive sensor data from the one or more sensors, and update the image data based on the received sensor data from the one or more sensors.

A multifunction interactive power tool, comprising:
- a power source;
- a video display mounted on a surface of a housing, the video display being integrated with a touch sensitive display;
- one or more sensors attached to the housing;
- and
- processing circuitry, within the housing and electrically coupled to the power source, configured to
- identify a type of attachment connected to the interactive power tool, the attachment being configured to accept any consumable compatible with the attachment;
- dynamically switch the video display to display image data associated with the type of attachment in response to identification of the type of attachment connected to the interactive power tool and to display selectable options actuatable via the touch sensitive display corresponding to functionality of the attachment in response to identification of the type of attachment connected to the interactive power tool,
- receive sensor data from the one or more sensors, and
- update the image data based on the received sensor data from the one or more sensors.
