    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, a motor, a switching network electrically coupled to the motor, and a printed circuit board positioned at an angle within the housing. The power tool further includes a user input configured to receive a sensitivity level for loss of control detection, a sensor configured to measure an acceleration of the housing with respect to at least two axes, and an electronic processor coupled to the switching network. The electronic processor is configured to receive one or more signals related to the acceleration of the housing of the power tool from the acceleration sensor, determine that the one or more signals exceed an acceleration threshold corresponding to the sensitivity level for loss of control detection, and control the switching network to brake the brushless DC motor in response to the one or more signals exceeding the acceleration threshold.

    Abstract: A cable puller has a frame, a capstan rotatably mounted on the frame, a motor which drives the capstan to rotate, a power supply which supplies electrical current to the motor, a transmission which transfers torque from the motor to the capstan, a display mounted to the frame, a sensor operable to generate a signal, and a controller. The transmission can operate in a low-speed configuration and a high-speed configuration. The controller is electrically coupled to the motor, the power supply, and the display. The controller includes computer executable instructions stored in a computer readable medium for controlling operation of the cable puller to receive the signal from the sensor, determine a torque of the capstan based on the signal, determine a tension of a cable being pulled based on the torque of the capstan, and generate a control signal when the tension of the cable approaches a predetermined tension.
