Abstract
A flow guide configured for insertion in a cavity defined between an outer housing and a nested inner motor housing of a fluid driven tool. The flow guide defines a longitudinal axis and includes at least two longitudinal portions disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis and defining a longitudinal channel therebetween, and a rib being substantially circumferential and connecting the longitudinal portions at points defining a plane substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis. The rib defines a recess that permits fluid communication in the longitudinal channel across the rib.
