Abstract:
1. A tool comprising: a housing having a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity extending through a first end of the housing and having a first longitudinal axis, the second cavity extending through a second end of the housing opposite the first end and having a second longitudinal axis that is not coincident with the first axis and which intersects or is skewed to the first axis so as to form an included angle therebetween that is less than 180 degrees in magnitude; a motor assembly received through the first end of the housing and at least partially disposed in the first cavity, the motor assembly including a motor having a pair of motor terminals; a battery assembly received in the second cavity through the second end of the housing, the battery including a pair of battery terminals; and a circuit board received in the housing and disposed between the battery assembly and the motor assembly, the circuit board having a switch and electrically interconnecting the battery terminals and the motor terminals such that the motor assembly is selectively powered by the battery assembly via the switch; wherein electrical coupling of the motor terminals, the battery terminals and the circuit board is accomplished solely by sliding at least two of the motor, the circuit board and the battery assembly into the housing; and wherein the circuit board includes a pair of intermediate terminals and wherein one of the motor terminals and the intermediate terminals includes two terminal members that are biased toward one another and the other one of the motor terminals and the intermediate terminals includes a spade terminal that is received between the two terminal members.
