Abstract
An impact tool includes an electric motor and a housing containing the electric motor, the housing including a battery receptacle. The battery receptacle includes an isolation member configured to selectively and detachably couple to a battery pack to electrically connect the battery pack to the electric motor. The isolation member includes opposed rails configured to be received into sliding engagement with channels formed in the housing. The battery receptacle also includes an elastomeric damper supported within the housing. During operation of the impact tool, the isolation member is configured to translate relative to the housing and impact the elastomeric damper which, in turn, is configured to attenuate the transmission of vibration from the housing to the battery pack.
