ABSTRACT

A power tool includes a housing with first and second clamshell portions. A
motor positioned within the housing is configured to rotate a motor shaft. A
gear case coupled to the housing encloses a drive train to transmit torque
from the motor shaft to an output drive extending from a front end of the gear
case. A reaction arm coupled to the gear case limits rotation of the gear
case. The power tool includes an interface assembly with an interface housing
having a top portion positioned within the housing between the clamshell
portions and a bottom portion extending outside the housing. The top portion
includes a lens opening, and the bottom portion includes actuator openings. An
interface circuit board coupled includes a display panel in line with the lens
opening and switches positioned in line with the actuator openings. A lens is
positioned within the lens opening.
