712,537 Nov. 04, 1902 Electric grinding device Charles S. Hisey Dayton, KY This "portable electrically driven grinding machine" could be hand-held but it was primarily intended for use as an attachment to lathes, planers, milling, machines, etc., for grinding operations.

967,190 Aug. 16, 1910 Switch for electric tools Louis A. Hauck Cincinnati, OH The stated goals of this invention is to provide a switch for a portable tool that takes minimal effort to activate and that snaps from "off" to "on" all at once and with minimal arcing.
At the time, the inventor may have been working for Hisey-Wolf Machine Co., which made handheld power tools among its products. In 1915 he was among the incorporators of a short-lived maker of benchtop drill presses, the Gordon Machine Co.
1,241,659 Oct. 02, 1917 Electric portable grinder Emil Ritz Jr. Cincinnati, OH This design allows the shaft to be replaced with a shaft of a different length. "The difficulty in accomplishing this purpose is...in preventing quivering of the grinder shaft when it has any length at all, and hence the chattering of the grinder wheel itself."
1,259,132 Mar. 12, 1918 Portable electric tool Emil Ritz Jr. Cincinnati, OH This patent has the same goal as patent 1,241,659, which is to produce a handheld grinder where the grinder shaft can easily be replaced by one of a different length.
