Abstract:
A portable press and method are disclosed for use primarily with hand held power tools, and especially electric or pneumatic drill motors having a pistol-type hand grip. The press includes a mounting assembly and an operational guide assembly, the mounting assembly having a tool support bracket, a clamping support ring, and a resilient support. The operational guide assembly includes a support arm bracket having the tool support bracket connected therewith and a support arm extending therefrom at an angle normal to the mounting assembly, a pair of interface guides, and an interface tensioning mechanism. An interface, a sufficient length of durable webbing or strap for example, is engagable around a workpiece and the guides, and is operably associable with the tensioning mechanism. The location of the guides at the support arm bracket is selected to locate the tool support bracket therebetween.
