A power tool comprising: a housing extending along a tool axis (X) with opposing lateral side surfaces separated by a first distance (D1); a motor contained in the housing and including a stator that is stationary relative to the housing , a rotor that rotates relative to the stator , a motor output shaft rotatably driven by the stator , and a fan coupled to the motor output shaft ; an end cap coupled to a rear end portion of the housing ; at least one first intake vent (150; 152) disposed axially rearward of the motor, the air intake vents (150; 152) oriented transverse to the axis (X); and an exhaust vent defined in the housing axially forward of the motor , wherein: the fan is positioned axially forward of the motor proximate the exhaust vent , such that upon actuation of the motor , air flows into the housing through the at least one first intake vent along a first path, over or through the motor , and out of the exhaust vent ; characterized in that the end cap has opposed lateral wings ; wherein the at least one first intake vent (150; 152) disposed proximate at least one of the lateral wings; and the opposed lateral wings extend radially outward from the side surfaces by a second distance (D2) from the X axis that is greater than the first distance (D1), such that the wings are configured to inhibit blockage of the at least one first intake vent (150; 152). a housing extending along a tool axis (X) with opposing lateral side surfaces separated by a first distance (D1); a motor contained in the housing and including a stator that is stationary relative to the housing , a rotor that rotates relative to the stator , a motor output shaft rotatably driven by the stator , and a fan coupled to the motor output shaft ; an end cap coupled to a rear end portion of the housing ; at least one first intake vent (150; 152) disposed axially rearward of the motor, the air intake vents (150; 152) oriented transverse to the axis (X); and an exhaust vent defined in the housing axially forward of the motor , wherein: the fan is positioned axially forward of the motor proximate the exhaust vent , such that upon actuation of the motor , air flows into the housing through the at least one first intake vent along a first path, over or through the motor , and out of the exhaust vent ; characterized in that the end cap has opposed lateral wings ; wherein the at least one first intake vent (150; 152) disposed proximate at least one of the lateral wings; and the opposed lateral wings extend radially outward from the side surfaces by a second distance (D2) from the X axis that is greater than the first distance (D1), such that the wings are configured to inhibit blockage of the at least one first intake vent (150; 152). the fan is positioned axially forward of the motor proximate the exhaust vent , such that upon actuation of the motor , air flows into the housing through the at least one first intake vent along a first path, over or through the motor , and out of the exhaust vent ; characterized in that the end cap has opposed lateral wings ; wherein the at least one first intake vent (150; 152) disposed proximate at least one of the lateral wings; and the opposed lateral wings extend radially outward from the side surfaces by a second distance (D2) from the X axis that is greater than the first distance (D1), such that the wings are configured to inhibit blockage of the at least one first intake vent (150; 152). <EOS>
