Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclosed herein present forms of a method and mechanism for a power tool lock-off, wherein accidental activation of the power tool may be inhibited. Pressing a lock-off release button on the tool housing induces a locking member to move from a first position to a second position, allowing a trigger to access a power switch within the housing. Various forms and methods of lock-off mechanisms are enabled.
