    Abstract: Power tools described herein include a housing, a motor supported by the housing, a battery pack configured to provide electrical power to the power tool, a user input configured to provide an input signal corresponding to a target speed of the motor, a plurality of sensors supported by the housing and configured to generate sensor data indicative of an operational parameter of the power tool, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller includes an electronic processor and a memory. The memory includes a machine learning control program for execution by the electronic processor. The electronic controller is configured to receive the target speed, receive the sensor data, process the sensor data using the machine learning control program, generate, using the machine learning control program, an output based on the sensor data, the output including one or more field weakening parameters, and control the motor based on the generated output.

    Abstract: A rotary impact tool including a motor having a motor shaft that produces a rotational output to drive a gear assembly and a drive assembly driven by the gear assembly. The drive assembly including a hammer coupled to the motor shaft and an anvil configured to receive an impact from the hammer. The rotary impact tool includes a torque stick coupled to the anvil and configured to limit the amount of deliverable torque to a workpiece in accordance with a torsional stiffness of the torque stick, a position sensor to detect angular displacement of the anvil, and a controller in electrical communication with the position sensor. The controller calculates torque delivered to the workpiece from the impact by multiplying the torsional stiffness of the torque stick and the signal from the position sensor, and control the motor based on the torque delivered to the workpiece.

    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing, and an output spindle rotatably supported relative to the housing about an axis. The motor is operable to drive the output spindle about the axis. The power tool includes a spindle lock assembly between the motor and the output spindle. The spindle lock assembly is adjustable between an unlocked state in which the output spindle is rotatable relative to the housing about the axis and a locked state in which the output spindle is rotationally fixed relative to the housing. The spindle lock assembly includes a first resilient member, positioned between the housing and the output spindle. The first resilient member is configured to at least partially absorb a torque impulse from the output spindle when rotating in a first direction and when the spindle lock assembly transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state.

    Abstract: A power tool includes an electronic controller including a processor and a memory, one or more attachments, a motor, and a sensor communicatively coupled to the electronic controller. The electronic controller obtains, via the sensor, one or more indications for the one or more attachments and determines information about a configuration of the one or more attachments based on the one or more indications. The electronic controller adaptively controls the motor based on the information about the configuration to, for example, prevent or mitigate a kickback occurrence.

    Abstract: Power tool methods and systems are provided for aligning a power tool to implement an angled cut in a workpiece. The power tool includes a first distance sensor and a second distance sensor. The power tool measures a first distance to the workpiece with the first distance sensor and a second distance to the workpiece with the second distance sensor. The power tool calculates an angle between the power tool and the workpiece based on the first and second distances, and indicates the angle via an angle output indicator of the power tool. The power tool may measure an angle between the power tool and the workpiece using a proximate edge and a distal edge of the workpiece, and indicate whether the power tool maintains a correct angle as it traverses a cut through the workpiece from the proximate edge to the distal edge.

    Abstract: A powered hammer assembly includes a powered hammer including an output shaft and an axial impact mechanism. The assembly also includes an attachment including an impact portion defining a first axis. The impact portion is fixed to the body and is immovable relative to the body. The impact portion is configured to receive repeated impacts from the powered hammer. The attachment further comprises a receiving portion in which a rod to be driven into the ground is receivable. The clamping portion defines a second axis that is parallel with the first axis.
