<p>An adapter (14) is provided for coupling an accessory tool (24) to any of a plurality of power tools (10) wherein each of the plurality of power tools has a distinct tool drive structure (50a, 50f). The adapter has body (100) that includes a first side surface (104), and a second side surface (108) positioned opposite to the first side surface. An inner peripheral (110) surface extends from the first side surface to the second side surface that defines a central opening (112), and an outer peripheral (114) surface extends from the first side surface to the second side surface. The first side surface has defined therein a plurality of recesses (106, 107) positioned around the central opening. In addition, the body has a first adapter drive structure (120, 124) and a second adapter drive structure (126). The first adapter drive structure and the second adapter drive structure define the plurality of recesses, and the first adapter drive structure and the second adapter drive structure each possesses a distinct configuration in comparison to each other. The first adapter drive structure is configured to mate with a first tool drive structure of a first power tool of the plurality of power tools, and the second adapter drive structure is configured to mate with a second tool drive structure of a second power tool of the plurality of power tools.</p> |
