Lighted power tool
First Claim
1. A power tool system comprising:
- a tool body including a motor having an output member that drives an accessory, the output member defining an output member axis;
an end effector coupled for rotation with the output member relative to the tool body, the end effector configured to retain the accessory;
a light source disposed on the end effector; and
a consumable tool removably attachable to the end effector, the consumable tool having an illumination opening disposed at a radial distance from the output member axis and configured to be substantially aligned with the light source.

Abstract
A power tool system includes a tool body with a motor having an output member that drives an accessory. The output member defines an output member axis. An end effector is coupled for rotation with the output member relative to the tool body. The end effector is configured to retain the accessory. A light source is disposed on the end effector. A consumable tool, such as a holesaw, is removably attachable to the end effector, and has an illumination opening configured to be substantially aligned with the light source. The holesaw may have a generally cylindrical side wall and a base wall that defines a central opening for receiving an arbor, an aperture spaced radially outward by a first distance for receiving a projection on an arbor and an illumination opening spaced radially a second greater distance.

16. A holesaw for use with a power tool having an end effector with a light source mounted on the end effector, the holesaw comprising:
-
a generally circular base wall; a generally cylindrical side wall extending forward from the base wall; a central opening in the base wall configured to receive an arbor; an aperture defined in the base wall, and spaced radially outward from the central opening by a first distance, the aperture configured to receive a projection on an arbor that can couple the holesaw with the end effector; an illumination opening defined in the base wall, and spaced radially outward from the central opening by a second distance that is greater than the first distance, the illumination opening configured to transmit light from the light source to a workpiece. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
