Abstract
A combination pneumatic tool and protection boot are provided. The pneumatic tool has a housing and an exhaust port for transmitting exhaust air from the tool along a path. The protective boot is disposed about the housing and has a deflector disposed in the path of the exhaust air for redirecting the exhaust air. The deflector preferably deflects the air away from an area surrounding the workpiece the tool is engaging without creating back pressure in the tool.
