Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention is a drill motor assembly (100) including a drill motor (102) and a housing guide assembly (104). The housing guide assembly in turn includes a base (106) and a mast (108) pivotally and adjustably attached thereto. A male slide (110) on the mast (108) slidably and precisely engages a female slide (112) on the drill motor (102). To drill a precise hole using the drill motor assembly (100), the operator simply adjusts the mast (108) to the desired angle relative to the base (106), engages the slides (110) and (112), activates the drill motor (102), and moves the drill motor (102) along the mast (108) until the drilling operation is completed. The present invention also includes a wide variety of accessories that can be connected to, and in some cases powered by, the drill motor (102); and a wide variety of storage options as well; and all of the attachments and storage options use the slides on the tool and accessories to facilitate use and/or storage of the various devices and components of the present invention.
