Abstract
A power tool including a housing and a motor mounted in the housing having a drive shaft. A transmission is mounted in the housing having an input shaft operatively coupled to the drive shaft of the motor and an output shaft operatively coupled to a tool holder. The transmission includes at least a first gear and a second gear configured to transmit torque from the motor to the tool holder. A first part of the transmission is mounted within a first grease chamber and a second part of the transmission is mounted within a second grease chamber.
