Abstract
An ergonomic, hand-held power tool (10) is disclosed having a housing (12) formed to have a main body portion (14) having a cavity (32) and a handle portion (16) coupled to the main portion (14). The main body portion (14) has a first longitudinal axis (66). The handle portion (16) has a second longitudinal axis (68) formed to be at an acute angle (70) with respect to the first longitudinal axis (66). A flexible material (28) may be attached to the handle portion (16) or used to form an exterior coating on the housing (12) to help minimize any vibration transferred to the operator's hand.
