Abstract: A drain cleaning machine includes a snake inlet tube, a clamping mechanism having a first support member and a second support member. The second support member is movable between a first position in which a first distance is defined between the first support member and the second support member, and a second position in which a second distance is defined between the first support member and the second support member. The clamping mechanism also includes a plurality of collets supported by the first and second support members. The drain cleaning machine also includes a motor switchable between a deactivated state and an activated state in which the motor is configured to rotate the clamping mechanism and an actuating lever moveable between a deactivated position, in which the second support member is in the first position, and an activated position, in which the second support member is in the second position.

Abstract: A drain clearing air gun includes a housing defining a main body, a handle positioned on a first end of the main body, and a nose positioned on a second end of the main body. A tank is at least partially positioned within the housing and includes a chamber for receiving pressurized air. A motor is positioned within a main body of the housing, and a pump is positioned within the main body of the housing and operatively coupled to the motor. The pump is driven by the motor to pump air into the tank. A pressure gauge is supported by the housing and includes an automatic shutoff feature. The pressure gauge is in fluid communication with the tank. When a predetermined pressure within the tank is reached the automatic shutoff feature is activated to stop the motor.

Abstract: A drain cleaning machine for moving a snake in a drain includes a rotating shell, a motor to rotate the rotating shell, and a radial drive mechanism coupled for rotation with the rotating shell and including a plurality of collets. The radial drive mechanism is switchable between an engaged state in which the one or more collets move toward a snake axis to engage the snake, and a disengaged state. A translate mechanism is coupled for rotation with the rotating shell and includes a plurality of wheels. The translate mechanism is switchable between an engaged state in which the wheels move toward the snake axis to engage the snake, and a disengaged state. A selection mechanism is configured to switch the radial drive mechanism from the disengaged state to the engaged state and configured to switch the translate mechanism from the disengaged state to the engaged state.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a power trowel. A power trowel includes a handle including a speed control input, a housing, a shaft connecting the handle and the housing, a safety mechanism located on the shaft, a blade assembly positioned below the housing, a motor located within the motor housing and coupled to the blade assembly, and a controller. The safety mechanism includes a safety lever configured to move in response to an uncontrolled condition of the power trowel. The controller is connected to the motor and the safety mechanism. The controller is configured to drive, in response to actuation of the speed control input, the motor, detect a movement of the safety lever from a first position to a second position, and perform, in response to the movement of the safety lever to the second position, a safety operation.

Abstract: A handle for a construction tool includes a lower handle portion configured to be coupled to the construction tool, an upper handle portion configured to be grasped by a user, a support pin disposed between the upper handle portion to the lower handle portion, and a locking mechanism configured to selectively secure the upper handle portion relative to the lower handle portion. The upper handle portion pivotable relative to the lower handle portion about the support pin. The locking mechanism includes a locking pin movable between a lock position, in which the upper handle portion is not pivotable relative to the lower handle portion, and an unlock position, in which the upper handle portion is pivotable relative to the lower handle portion, and a release handle configured to selectively move the locking pin between the lock position and the unlock position.

Abstract: A drain cleaning machine for moving a snake in a drain. The drain cleaning machine includes a housing, a motor configured to move the snake in the drain, a switch trigger configured to move between a first switch trigger position and a second switch trigger position, an actuating lever moveable between a deactivated position and an activated position, and a switch linkage configured to be moved by the actuating lever between a first switch linkage position and a second switch linkage position. In response to the actuating lever moving from the deactivated position to the activated position, the switch linkage is moved from the first switch linkage position to the second switch linkage position, and in response to the actuating lever moving from the activated position to the deactivated position, the switch linkage is moved from the second switch linkage position to the first switch linkage position.
