Abstract
A power tool accessory (e.g., a shear accessory) includes an accessory housing, an input shaft, a working tool, and a brace. The input shaft is driven by a power tool and drives the working tool. The brace rigidly connects the accessory housing to a power tool housing. The brace includes a collar coupled to the accessory housing, a clamp assembly that may be rigidly connected to the power tool housing, and an arm assembly connecting the collar to the clamp assembly. The collar allows selective rotation of the accessory housing relative to the collar while the brace rigidly couples the accessory housing to the power tool housing. The arm assembly may have a single arm. The clamp assembly may be coupled to a base of a handle of the power tool with arm assembly at an angle to a working axis of the power tool.
