ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a power tool having a housing, a handle having an inlet passage and an outlet passage extending therethrough, and a pneumatic pressure seal/vibration isolator positioned between the handle. The present invention provides a tool that has an excellent handle to housing seal and does not exhibit heavy vibrations. The present invention is also the vibration isolator that seals the handle to the motor housing and reduces vibrational transmissions to a user. Also disclosed is a power tool having a vibration isolator coupled to the housing and handle, and a mechanism for allowing sliding rotation of the handle relative to the vibration isolator, thereby allowing the handle to point in a different direction other than toward the point of impact. The present invention also discloses a pneumatic power tool including a handle, a housing having a first longitudinal axis, and a vibration isolator rotatably coupling the handle to the housing, the vibration isolator including a central opening through which air passes that is not aligned with the first longitudinal axis.
