Abstract
A remote switch actuator assembly includes a handle bar, a first actuator lever mounted to the handle bar, a mounting bracket configured to secure a drill to the handle bar such that a chuck end of the drill faces the handle bar, a second actuator lever secured to the mounting bracket so as to be in proximity with an actuation switch of the drill when the drill is secured by the mounting bracket, and a cable extending between and coupled with the first actuator lever and the second actuator lever. The first actuator lever is movable with respect to the handle bar to effect movement of the cable and corresponding movement of the second actuator lever toward the mounting bracket and the actuation switch of the drill when the drill is secured by the mounting bracket, and movement of the second actuator lever facilitates actuation of the drill secured by the mounting bracket by engaging with the actuation switch of the drill in response to movement of the first actuator lever.
