I actually have a working schematic that I'm playing with

Post your circuit.

 

Sure thing. I actually have a working schematic that I'm playing with. It's surprisingly simple but it is relay based, and due to space constrains, the relay is rather undersized so it kind of heats up over time up to +50 degrees Celsius, that is not that bad, but it's not good either. I was hoping someone would come up with a better schematic, like triac based or something, I don't know.

That is sorta like the promise you get from software developers who promise that it will be available RSN. That translates as: Real Soon Now.

 

"Post your circuit, please" maybe? This is getting ridiculous. Why do you guys act as if I owe you something? I don't! I joined today this forum in the hope someone more knowledgeable than me would bother throwing me a bone. Instead, I've got only crap from a bunch of guys too busy to play smarty. Until few hours ago, you guys did not even know what an anti-restart circuit is, yet now, suddenly you imperatively demand I should give you the schematic I came up with. You know what, how about you follow the advice your forum buddy gave me, buy a tool powered with this feature and do reverse engineering by yourself. How about that?

 

We are just a bunch of dummies here foolin' around, we are not smart like you!

Some people have street cred and other folks just – don't.
When you go to publish, it gets peer reviewed. It can be a brutal process, but it does separate the wheat from the chaff.

 

"Post your circuit, please" maybe?

So I hurt your feelings by not saying please?
Sorry, I didn't realize we were conversing with a prima-donna.

So PLEASE go elsewhere with your questions.

Why do you guys act as if I owe you something?

And what makes you think we owe an arrogant newbie like you anything?
I certainly don't and won't from here on.

 

Since the power tool already has an on/off switch, there is no need for an off or reset switch in the relay circuit. In the post #4 circuit, replace the "Push to Break" switch with wire. Now the only way to reset the circuit is to remove its power, either intentionally or by a power outage.

After a power bounce, the only way to get power to the tool(s) is to press the button to activate the circuit, After that, power is continuously available to everyone. Hopefully, the act of having to press the button is the reminder to check the attached tools to see if they are latched on.

I think that covers the question.

If you are asking about a circuit that *detects* whether or not a downstream device has its power switch in the On positiion, and denies power to it until its switch has been cycled, that is a very different, and more difficult, problem.

I agree. The post no. 4 is completely parallel to the proposed subject. I thanked the guy who proposed that "solution" only by pure curtesy. At post no. 3 I tried to summarize what the anti-restart circuit is. Otherwise, the definition, in various forms, is available on the website of most of the major power tool manufacturers. The problem is not that complicated as it seems at the first glance. I'm sure you will reach the same conclusion after you put a bit more thought on this. This being said I'm done here. I invite you to continue as / if you like.

Condescension will get You nowhere in any Forum,
but especially when you're dealing with a bunch of old-fart Geniuses with
an average experience of around ~40-years in various specialties.

You have been extremely vague in describing the basic problem that You are trying to solve.
This means that any replies will be generic in nature, with plenty of necessary assumptions thrown in.

If You will be very specific in describing your problem,
all the name-calling and petty-quibbling can be dispensed with,
and multiple useful solutions are virtually guaranteed to ensue.

Is'nt an "Anti-restart" different from "Non-restart"?

 

Until few hours ago, you guys did not even know what an anti-restart circuit is,

It is not a term used in the jargon of electronics. Perhaps on a power tool users forum everyone knows the term. But I would not expect them to be familiar with Laplace transforms. The language you use has to take into account who you are talking to.
