Abstract
A handle for a power tool is provided including a field case and front handle portion formed as a single piece. The front handle portion has an opening in a rear side thereof for receiving the wiring for the power tool. The wiring is connected to a motor that is mounted in the field case. A rear handle portion is attached to the front handle portion for covering the opening in the rear of the front handle portion. An end cap is connected to a rear of the field case for covering the remaining exposed wires connected to the motor. With the front handle design, the wire-up of the power tool can be completed from one side of the tool without having to turn the tool over during the wire-up process.
