Abstract
A power tool has a mechanism for forcing a battery pack at least partially from a cavity that receives a battery pack. A biasing member is in the cavity. A member for retaining the biasing member is also in the cavity. The biasing member forces the battery pack at least partially from the cavity. When the battery pack is locked onto the frame, the biasing member is in a compressed condition and when the battery pack is an unlocked position, the biasing member forces the battery pack at least partially from the frame.
