Abstract
A tool housing which in one aspect includes a body defining a head portion with a handle portion depending therefrom to define a forward and/or a rear junction. A metal reinforcing member is configured to span along an inside surface of the body from the head portion to the handle portion such that the reinforcing member bridges either the forward or rear junction. In another aspect, the tool assembly comprises a tool housing body, a motor positioned within the tool body housing, a drive mechanism connected with the motor to define a unitary motor/drive mechanism assembly, and at least one elastic isolating member extending about a portion of the motor/drive mechanism assembly such that the motor/drive mechanism assembly is elastically isolated relative to the housing body.
