The powered track includes a drive roller, an idler roller, and an endless belt that extends around the drive roller and the idler roller. The tool support also includes a first motor supported on the frame. The first motor is operable to drive the drive roller and rotate the endless belt. The tool support further includes a second motor supported by the frame. The second motor is configured to be coupled to the tool to drive the tool supported on the frame. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A tool support comprising: a frame configured to support a tool; a powered track supported on the frame, the powered track including a drive roller, an idler roller, and an endless belt that extends around the drive roller and the idler roller; a first motor supported on the frame, the first motor operable to drive the drive roller and rotate the endless belt; and a second motor supported by the frame, the second motor configured to be coupled to the tool to drive the tool supported on the frame. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The tool support of claim 1, wherein the frame includes a base configured to support the tool and a vertical support. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The tool support of claim 2, wherein the powered track extends along a length of the vertical support. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The tool support of claim 1, wherein the frame includes one or more wheels to transport the frame. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The tool support of claim 1, wherein the powered track is a first powered track, and the tool support further comprises a second powered track supported on the frame, the second powered track including a drive roller, an idler roller, and an endless belt that extends around the drive roller and the idler roller. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The tool support of claim 1, wherein the frame is moveable between a first position, where the powered track does not contact a surface, and a second position, where the powered track contacts a surface for movement on the surface. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The tool support of claim 6, wherein the frame includes a handle to move the frame from the first position to the second position. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The tool support of claim 1, wherein the first motor and the second motor do not operate simultaneously. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The tool support of claim 1, further comprising a power supply supported on the frame, the power supply operable to power the first motor, the second motor, or both. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The tool support of claim 1, wherein the powered track is pivotable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position. ### Claim 11 A tool support comprising: a frame configured to support a tool; a powered track supported on the frame, the powered track including a drive roller, an idler roller, and an endless belt that extends around the drive roller and the idler roller; and a power supply supported on the frame, the power supply operable to power the powered track and the tool supported on the frame. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The tool support of claim 11, wherein the power supply includes a battery pack receptacle to receive a battery pack to power the powered track and the tool. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The tool support of claim 11, further comprising first and second motors powered by the power supply, the first motor operable to drive the powered track, the second motor configured to be coupled to the tool to drive the tool supported by the frame. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The tool support of claim 11, wherein the power supply includes a controller to control operation of the powered track. ### Claim 15 A tool support comprising: a frame configured to support a tool; a powered track supported on the frame, the powered track including a drive roller, an idler roller, and an endless belt that extends around the drive roller and the idler roller, the powered track pivotable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position; a motor supported by the frame, the motor operable to drive the drive roller and rotate the powered track; and a power supply supported by the frame, the power supply operable to power the motor. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The tool support of claim 15, wherein the powered track is pivotable to an incline between approximately 20 degrees and approximately 45 degrees relative to the frame. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The tool support of claim 15, wherein the powered track is a first powered track, and the tool support further comprises a second powered track coupled to the first powered track. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The tool support of claim 17, wherein the motor is a first motor to drive the first powered track, and the tool support further comprises a second motor to drive the second powered track. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The tool support of claim 17, wherein the second powered track is shorter in length than the first powered track. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The tool support of claim 17, wherein the second powered track is inclined relative to the first powered track.
