US Patent 6865779 Ergonomic brace for inline power tool

An ergonomic brace attachment for a pneumatic inline power tool. The attachment is designed to reduce the forces transmitted from the power tool to the operator. The device attaches non-destructively to a wide variety of inline power tools using the threaded air inlet port of the tool. A padded lever arm allows the operator to easily receive torque forces and the semi-u shape enables axial force to be applied to the tool with the large muscles of the arm, while providing for minimal restriction and ease of use. The lever arm is made from lightweight, strong material and is height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of tools and operator anatomies.
