Abstract

A direction selector mechanism adapted to cause a motor to selectively rotate in either one of first and second rotational directions. The direction selector mechanism includes a selector switch slidably or rotatably coupled to the tool and adapted to be selectively positioned between one of first and second positions, a non-contact actuator disposed in the selector switch, and a non-contact sensor adapted to detect the proximity of the non-contact actuator.
