Abstract
A power tool includes a soft-stop transmission having a first component and a second component. The first component is configured to receive torque from a motor to rotate the first component in a first rotational direction. The second component is connected to an output of the power tool and is configured to rotate in a first rotational direction in unison with the first component. The second component is configured to rotate in the first rotational direction relative to the first component in response to angular deceleration of the first component. A damping element is positioned between the first component and second component, and the damping element is configured to bias the first component in the first rotational direction and the second component in an opposite, second rotational direction.
