A tool for driving a threaded fastener includes a driver head, a motor, and an injector. The driver head includes a spindle rotatable about an axis. A distal end of the spindle defines a plurality of drive surfaces configured to engage mating drive surfaces on the fastener to rotate the fastener about the axis. The driver head defines a fluid passage having an outlet proximate to the distal end of the spindle. The motor is drivingly coupled to the spindle to rotate the spindle about the axis. The injector is coupled to an inlet of the fluid passage and configured to feed a liquid insulator through the fluid passage.

This disclosure details exemplary barrier seal assemblies for sealing vehicle electrical housings. The vehicle electrical housings may include any electrical housing utilized within a vehicle, including but not limited to battery pack housings and electrical connector assemblies. An exemplary barrier seal assembly may include a primary seal, a barrier seal, and a carrier that extends between the primary seal and the barrier seal. The barrier seal assembly is configured to reduce the ingress of corrosion inducing substances into an interior of vehicle electrical housings.

An exemplary enclosure assembly includes, among other things, first and second pieces of an enclosure having an interior area. The first and second pieces are pressed vertically together at an interface. A gasket seal seals the interface at a position outside the interface relative to the interior area. An exemplary enclosure securing method includes, among other things, sealing an interface by compressing a gasket seal horizontally between first and second enclosure pieces of an enclosure that provides an interior area. The first and second pieces are pressed vertically together along the interface.
