Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention, a method and system of a light bulb changing tool may comprise a gripper having a gripping side and an attaching side, the gripper having a flexible shape; an attachment point disposed on the attaching side; and a polymer disposed on the gripping side. In embodiments, a method and system of a vehicle cleaning tool may comprise a rotational arbor; and a gear head adapted to rotate the rotational arbor, wherein the gear head is adapted to couple to a power head having a quick-release connection point.

Claims (9)

1. A vehicle power tool cleaning system, comprising:

at least two different functional cleaning modules each including a rotational arbor and a gear head adapted to rotate the rotational arbor;

a power base comprising a power head including a drive member at one end thereof and a power supply member at the other end thereof for providing electrical power to the power head and further including a pole disposed between the power head and the power supply member, the power head having a quick-release connection point comprising a detent released by a spring latch actuated by a button which is part of the power head whereby a selected one of the cleaning modules is detachably coupled to the power head;

the drive member of the power head driving the respective cleaning module when coupled to the power head; and

the power base further including a control for controlling the operation of the cleaning system.

2. The vehicle power tool cleaning system of claim 1 , wherein the pole is a segmented pole.

3. The vehicle power tool cleaning system of claim 1 , wherein the pole is a telescoping pole.
