Abstract
A rotary power tool is provided having a remotely actuated chuck device. The chuck is mounted onto the end of a drive spindle that extends from the casing of the power tool. The chuck includes an outer sleeve member that is axially movable relative to a drive spindle between a gripping and release position. A sleeve actuating device is provided having a first member engaged with the outer sleeve member and which extends generally radially outward from the drive spindle or chuck. The first member is movable in a direction so as to move the outer sleeve member between the gripping position and release position. The sleeve actuating device includes an actuator member configured with the first member to move the first member upon an external force being applied thereto. A base is rotatably advanceable and concentric on the casing. A helical opening is formed in the base. The chuck actuating device fits into the helical groove so that the base is fully rotatably adjustable without interference from the actuating device.
