A power tool includes a housing extending generally along a tool axis with opposing lateral side surfaces separated by a first distance, a motor contained in the housing, and an end cap coupled to a rear end of the housing, the end cap having opposed lateral wings extending radially outward from the side surfaces by a second distance that is greater than the first distance. At least one air intake vent is disposed proximate at least one of the wings to allow intake of air ambient air to cool the motor.

Power tool with enhanced air flow

A power tool includes a housing containing a motor, an output member configured to be driven by the motor to perform an operation on a workpiece, and a handle having a first end portion coupled to the housing and a second end portion. A base is coupled to the second end portion of the handle. A light emitting assembly is pivotably coupled to the base. The light emitting assembly is configured to be operable in a first mode to illuminate a workpiece and a second mode to indicate a condition of the power tool responsive to the power tool signaling the condition to the light emitting assembly.
