Abstract
A rotary power tool includes a main housing and a transmission housing coupled to the main housing. The transmission housing includes a bearing pocket open to a front of the transmission housing and defined at least partially by a radially inward-extending flange. The rotary power tool also includes an output shaft and a bearing positioned within the bearing pocket adjacent and in abutting relationship with the radially inward-extending flange for rotatably supporting the output shaft in the transmission housing. The rotary power tool also includes a radially outward-extending flange on the output shaft that radially overlaps at least a portion of the bearing on an opposite side of the bearing as the radially inward-extending flange. A line of action of an axial reaction force applied to the output shaft is directed to the transmission housing via the radially outwardly-extending flange, the bearing, and the radially inward-extending flange.
