Abstract
A power tool is provided including a tool housing; a rear tool cap separately formed from the tool housing and mounted on a rear end of the tool housing; and a motor. The motor includes a stator, a rotor shaft; a rear bearing mounted on the rotor shaft and supported by a central bearing pocket of the rear tool cap, and a rotor. The rear tool cap further comprises a constraining member extending from the radial body, where the constraining member is configured to engage a portion of the stator to securely locate the stator within the tool housing and pilot the rear bearing relative to the stator independently of the tool housing.
