Abstract
An angled tool accessory holder includes a housing; an input shaft extending along a first axis and at least partially received in the housing, the input shaft coupleable to an output tool holder of a rotary power tool to be rotatable relative to the housing; a tool accessory holder rotatable relative to the housing and extending along a second axis transverse to the first axis; a transmission configured to transmit torque from the input shaft to the tool accessory holder; and a light assembly received in the housing, the light assembly including a light configured to illuminate a workpiece adjacent the tool accessory holder, a battery configured to power the light, and a vibration damping member configured to dampen vibrations between the housing and the light assembly.
Claims20
An angled tool accessory holder comprising:
- a housing;
- an input shaft extending along a first axis and at least partially received in the housing, the input shaft coupleable to an output tool holder of a rotary power tool to be rotatable relative to the housing;
- a tool accessory holder rotatable relative to the housing and extending along a second axis transverse to the first axis;
- a transmission configured to transmit torque from the input shaft to the tool accessory holder;
- a light assembly received in the housing, the light assembly including a light unit with a light configured to illuminate a workpiece adjacent the tool accessory holder and a vibration damping member dampen vibrations between the housing and the light unit, the vibration damping member comprising an insert received in the housing and defining a recess configured to receive the light unit.
An angled tool accessory holder comprising:
- a housing;
- an input shaft extending along a first axis and at least partially received in the housing, the input shaft coupleable to an output tool holder of a rotary power tool to be rotatable relative to the housing;
- a tool accessory holder rotatable relative to the housing and extending along a second axis transverse to the first axis;
- a transmission configured to transmit torque from the input shaft to the tool accessory holder;
- and
- a light assembly received in the housing, the light assembly including a light unit with a light configured to illuminate a workpiece adjacent the tool accessory holder and a vibration damping member configured to dampen vibrations between the housing and the light unit, the vibration damping member comprising an insert received in the housing and including an opening that receives at least a portion of the input shaft.
