ABSTRACT:
A grease slinger, power tool and method of assembling a power tool. The power tool includes a housing, a motor supported in the housing and including a rotatable shaft extending along an axis, a gear case connected to the housing, a flange between the housing and the gear case having a first side and a second side and defining an opening extending between the first side and the second side, a drive mechanism supported by the gear case and drivingly engaging the motor shaft, and a grease slinger. The grease slinger includes a body supportable on the shaft for rotation with the shaft relative to the flange. The body has a first face providing a grease-slinging surface and a second face facing the first side of the flange. The second face includes an annular side wall defining an annular channel. The side wall and the channel cooperate with the flange to provide a labyrinth seal and to prevent grease from flowing from the gear case into the housing.
