Wire winding fencing attachment for a hand held power tool

Abstract

A wire winding fencing attachment (6) for a handheld power tool (1) is disclosed. The attachment takes the form of a housing (8) having a mouth. An engagement means (7,107) is associated with the housing to permit both the housing to be engaged with the power tool and a drive input (17) of the attachment to be rotatably coupled to the power outlet. A geartrain (15) powers a rotor (16) which is rotatably mounted facing the mouth. A single winding arm (11) is mounted exterior of the housing, being rotatable with the rotor, and carrying a sheave (74) rotatably mounted on the winding arm at a location radially spaced from the rotor axis of rotation. The winding arm (11) is rotatably mounted relative to the housing and movable between a first position on one side of the housing and a second position on an opposite side of the housing.
