Summary: | A direction selector mechanism for a motor of a tool, wherein the motor includes a motor shaft operable in either of first or second rotational directions. The mechanism comprises a direction selector disposed on a top side of the tool, a gear mechanism 134 disposed in the housing and coupled to the direction selector and including an aperture 150 for receiving a rear end of the motor shaft, wherein movement of the direction selector causes the gear mechanism to rotate. A switch linkage arm 136 is disposed in the housing and engaged with the gear mechanism, the switch linkage arm engaging a switch of a switch mechanism in the tool. Rotation of the gear mechanism causes movement of the arm 136, which causes movement of the switch to select either of the first or second rotational directions. |
