Abstract

A power tool that can switch from a hammer drill to a set tool for placing anchors in a surface such as concrete. Changing from a rotating drill to set tool bits is done by a two finger snap lock handle on the top of the drill. A magazine attachable to the power tool contains a plurality of anchors allowing the user of the power tool to set more than one anchor without having to manually place each anchor in the power tool.

Claims (75)

1. A power tool, comprising:

a first rotating head;

a second rotating head;

a base shaft;

a first connecting shaft;

a second connecting shaft;

the first rotating head configured to receive a drill bit;

the second rotating head configured to receive a set tool;

the base shaft configured to be rotated by a motor;

the power tool has a first position and a second position;

the first position connects the first connecting shaft to the base shaft;

wherein the rotation of the base shaft rotates the first connecting shaft and the first rotating head;

the second position connects the second connecting shaft to the base shaft;

wherein the rotation of the base shaft rotates the second connecting shaft and the second rotating head;

a loading platform configured to hold an anchor;

the loading platform movable from a first position to a second position;

wherein the anchor is loadable on to the set tool in the second position of the loading platform.

2. The power tool of claim 1 , further comprising:

a motor configured to rotate at least a portion of the loading platform to thread the anchor onto a threaded portion of the anchor.

3. The power tool of claim 2 , further comprising:

a plurality of anchors;

the plurality of anchors are held within a magazine;

the magazine selectively attachable to a main body of the power tool.

4. The power tool of claim 3 , wherein:

the motor is a button motor.

5. The power tool of claim 4 , further comprising:

a spring that assists in the loading of an anchor on to the loading platform.

6. The power tool of claim 5 , wherein:

the loading platform comprises a plurality of cylindrical channels configured to accommodate anchors of various sizes and circumferences.

7. The power tool of claim 6 , further comprising:

a first switch;

the first switch selectively engages or disengages the base shaft from the first connecting shaft or the second connecting shaft;

a second switch;

the second switch having at least three positions;

a first position of the second switch allowing the device to have both hammer and drill functions;

the second position of the second switch allowing the device to have only hammer functions;

the third position of the second switch allowing the device to have only drill functions.

8. The power tool of claim 7 , further comprising:

a third switch;

the third switch having a first position and a second position;

the first position allowing clockwise movement of either the hammer drill or the set tool;

the second position allowing counter-clockwise movement of either the hammer drill or the set tool.

9. The power tool of claim 8 , wherein:

the spring is biased against the plurality of anchors.

10. The power tool of claim 9 wherein:

the loading platform comprises gears configured to rotate one anchor on the set tool.

11. The power tool of claim 10 , wherein:

the first switch is a two finger snap and lock changing handle.

12. The power tool of claim 11 , further comprising:

at least one handle selectively attachable to the main body.

13. A power tool for drilling holes and setting anchors, comprising:

a first rotating head;

the rotating head having a first chuck adapted to secure a drill bit;
