Abstract
A power tool having a removable head, a motor, a trigger, and a trigger stop movable between first and second positions. In the second position the trigger is unlocked to permit activation of the motor. A linkage is coupled to the trigger stop and is positioned at a first radial distance from the first central axis. A plurality of actuators extend from the head and are positioned at a second radial distance substantially equal to the first radial distance. When the head is coupled to the handle in a first rotational orientation, one of the plurality of actuators engages the linkage to move the trigger stop to the second position, and when the head is coupled to the handle in a second rotational orientation different from the first rotational orientation, another one of the plurality of actuators engages the linkage to move the trigger stop to the second position.
