Method for Operating a Hand-Held Power Tool - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246205 titled 'Method for Operating a Hand-Held Power Tool

- Simplified Explanation:**

The patent application describes a method for operating a hand-held power tool, such as a rotary impact wrench, to partially release a fastener by rotating the tool holder in different directions.

- Key Features and Innovation:**
Method for partially releasing a fastener by rotating the tool holder in opposite directions.
Renewed rotating of the tool holder to fully release the fastener.
Specifically designed for hand-held power tools like rotary impact wrenches.

- Potential Applications:**

This technology can be used in various industries where fasteners need to be partially released before complete removal, such as automotive repair, construction, and manufacturing.

- Problems Solved:**
Simplifies the process of partially releasing fasteners.
Reduces the risk of damaging the fastener or the tool.
Increases efficiency and precision in fastening tasks.

- Benefits:**
Improved control and accuracy in fastening operations.
Minimized risk of stripping or damaging fasteners.
Time-saving and efficient method for releasing fasteners.

- Commercial Applications:**

This technology can be applied in industries such as automotive repair shops, construction sites, and manufacturing plants to streamline fastening processes and improve overall productivity.

- Questions about the Technology:**

1. How does this method compare to traditional methods of releasing fasteners? 2. Are there any specific safety considerations to keep in mind when using this technology?

- Frequently Updated Research:**

There may be ongoing research in the field of power tool operation and fastening techniques that could further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of this method.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for operating a hand-held power tool, preferably a rotary impact wrench, the hand-held power tool comprising a tool holder for receiving a tool such as a tool bit or a nut, wherein the tool is configured to rotatably drive the fastener via a corresponding drive of a fastener includes partially releasing the fastener from a screwed state, by rotating the tool holder and thus the fastener in a first direction of rotation, rotating the tool holder in a second direction or rotation opposite the first direction of rotation, and renewed rotating of the tool holder and thus the fastener in the first direction of rotation.
