A surgical sagittal saw including a handpiece from which a planar guide bar extends. A saw blade is mounted to the distal end of the guide bar to move across the guide bar. Drive rods connect the saw blade to a drive assembly in the handpiece, which drive assembly reciprocates the drive rods. The drive rods oscillate the saw blade across the distal end of the guide bar. The saw is used with a cutting guide that is in a fixed position relative to the bone or hard tissue to be cut. A capture element is disposed adjacent the guide surface and holds the guide bar to the guide surface so the cut is made along the desired cut plane.

An elongated pole pruner for cutting and trimming trees, bushes and the like having three separable sections, that when assembled, form an extended length pruner. The pole pruner includes a first section containing a handle and battery pack, a second extension section, and a third section that contains the purner itself. Each of the sections contains an electrical conductor that is attached to corresponding conductor in an adjacent pole sections via a male plug and female receptacle. In this way, the battery pack in the first section of the pole is able to deliver power through the second section to the pruner in the third section.

A saw blade for medical, in particular surgical, applications having a recess for mounting the saw blade inside a saw which exerts an saw movement, especially an oscillating saw movement, to the saw blade. In order to improve the dynamic behavior of the saw blade, longitudinal flat areas of a surface of the saw blade are provided with a plurality of superficial impressions of a defined contour that are aligned at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the saw blade.

An extendable hedge trimmer includes a housing having a handle end and a tool end. The handle end includes a battery and an electrical connector. The tool end includes a hedge trimming implement, a motor, and an electrical connector. The electrical connector of the tool end is electrically connected with the motor. Wiring is included within the handle end for electrically connecting the battery and the electrical connector of the handle end. The trimmer also includes a pole which is releasably connectable between the tool end and the handle end. The pole is configured for electrically connecting the handle end with the tool end. The trimmer also includes a latch mechanism for releasably attaching the pole between tool end and handle end. The trimmer also includes an input for receiving AC line power via a power cord, the trimmer configured for being powered by AC line power and / or battery power.

A hand tool includes a replaceable cutting portion having an elongate cutting surface, a body and a handle. The body receives displaceable protecting apparatus for shielding the cutting surface of the cutting portion when not in use. A forward distal end of the protecting apparatus contacts a portion of the surface of the object to be cut such that when pressure is applied against the object surface displacement of the protecting apparatus relative to the replaceable cutting portion is effected to expose only as much of the cutting surface as needed to effect the required cut. Alignment means maintain alignment of the replaceable cutting portion relative to the protecting apparatus throughout the cutting. When the cutting action is completed resilience means facilitates return of the protecting apparatus so the cutting surface is no longer exposed.

Cutting tools are provided that include a circular core with a cutting means located on its periphery, a central bore to receive an arbor of a rotating power tool and one or more perforations extending through the central core. The perforations are disposed along a circumference disposed concentrically with, and between, the central bore and the periphery. The perforations are arranged to form an annular window through the core which corresponds to a predetermined cutting depth during rotational operation of the tool.

A simple attachment for a reciprocating tool that will effectuate the ability to do a flush cut in an inexpensive and simple manner which is neither' too ligid, nor not rigid enough. This is effectuated by providing an insert, which fits into the reciprocating tool in the same fashion as a regular' blade. The present invention then offsets the placement of a blade, sander, file, or' other 1 tool by as many inches as wished by the user 1. The blade, sander, file, or other tool is held rigid through the use of a 45 degree bracket spanning the distance from the original plane to the offset plane, or via a single or compound trapezoid design.

A system and method relating to creation of object(s) in an object hierarchy structure is provided. An object generator that in response to a command to expand a node / object provides a initiator node that facilitates generation of a new object within the object hierarchy upon expansion of the node. A display component concurrently displays the initiator node with the expanded node. The initiator node used for creating objects placed (e.g., in-line) within an object hierarchy structure. To create a new object, an instruction (e.g., user input) to expand a node having a initiator node is received. By selecting the initiator node and entering a name, an object of type defined by the initiator node is created. For example, once the object is created the user can enter information defining parameter(s) of the object. Information can be entered through a user interface box (e.g., text box) that is displayed upon the creation of the object. Also, a grid can overlay the object hierarchy structure allowing information to be entered directly into grid cell(s). The grid can further be employed to display defined parameter(s).

A head assembly for a rotary tool, comprising a body arranged for connection to a drive means, the drive means rotatable about a first axis of rotation; a rotatable element arranged for connection to a pad assembly, the rotatable element rotatable about a second axis of rotation disposed substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation; and, a locking assembly arranged to lock the rotatable element to the body to prevent rotation of the rotatable element relative to the body about the second axis of rotation.

A surgical sagittal saw with a head that is able to index, rotate, relative to the longitudinal axis of the saw housing. The head has a neck that extends into an open distal end of the housing. A biasing assembly holds the head and neck sub-assembly in the open distal end of the housing. The biasing assembly is rotatable relative to the housing. A separate lock mechanism selectively holds the head in a fixed orientation around the saw housing longitudinal axis.

An undercut saw including a housing, a motor within said housing, a drive shaft rotated by said motor, and a blade mount mechanically linked to said shaft such that a circular saw blade mounted on said mount is rotated when the motor rotates the drive shaft. A fixed blade guard circumscribes a portion of the blade and allows selectable height adjustment of the blade. A stabilization bar on the fixed blade guard may be extended to make the device more stable. On the underside of the fixed blade guard a dust channel allows dust to be swept by the rotating blade into a dust port. The dust channel allows positioning of the dust port away from the leading edges of the fixed blade guard.
