Abstract
Embodiments relate to a power drive adapter tool. The tool includes a drive adapter and a drill bit assembly. The drive adapter includes a body having a first end and a second end, the first end having a drive-receiving aperture configured to receive a drive from a drive tool, and the second end having a bit-receiving aperture configured to receive the drill bit assembly. The drill bit assembly has a drill bit and a connector, the connector having a proximal end and a distal end. The drill bit is permanently connected to the distal end, and the proximal end is configured to insert into the bit-receiving aperture.
Claims20
A power drive adapter tool, comprising:
- a drive adapter and a drill bit assembly, wherein:
- the drive adapter comprises a body having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a drive-receiving aperture configured to receive a drive from a drive tool, and the second end comprising a bit-receiving aperture configured to receive the drill bit assembly;
- and
- the drill bit assembly comprises a drill bit and a connector, the connector comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the drill bit permanently connected to the distal end, and the proximal end configured to insert into the bit-receiving aperture.
A power adapter tool kit, comprising:
- a drive adapter and a plurality of drill bit assemblies, wherein:
- the drive adapter comprises a body having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a drive-receiving aperture configured to receive a drive from a drive tool, and the second end comprising a bit-receiving aperture configured to receive any one of the plurality of drill bit assemblies;
- each drill bit assembly comprises a drill bit and a connector, the connector comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the drill bit permanently connected to the distal end, and the proximal end configured to insert into the bit-receiving aperture;
- and
- each drill bit assembly has a drill bit that differs from a drill bit of another drill bit assembly.
A method of using a drive adapter, the method comprising:
- inserting a drive adapter onto a drive of a drive tool, wherein:
- the drive adapter comprises a body having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a drive-receiving aperture configured to receive the drive from the drive tool, and the second end comprising a bit-receiving aperture configured to receive a drill bit assembly;
- and
- inserting the drill bit assembly to the drive adapter, wherein:
- the drill bit assembly comprises a drill bit and a connector, the connector comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the drill bit permanently connected to the distal end, and the proximal end configured to insert into the bit-receiving aperture;
- and
- inserting the drill bit assembly involves inserting the proximal end of the connector into the bit-receiving aperture of the drive adapter.
