Abstract
A work light for a power tool. In an exemplary embodiment, the work light includes a generally cylindrical housing constructed for receiving a light source. The housing includes a pin generally transverse to the housing and unitary with such housing. Further, an electrical coupling is configured to provide electricity to the light source from a power tool electrical source and is integrated with the electrical source. Additionally, a bracket including a flange with a plurality of apertures for receiving a series of fasteners for mounting the bracket to an external surface of the power tool is included. The bracket defines a recessed structure for receiving the pin and includes a pair of recesses spaced apart to retain a first end of the pin and a second end of the pin. The pin included within the housing permits linear positioning of the housing along an axis generally perpendicular to the pin.
