Power tool for forming threads

A power tool for forming threads comprising:

• a tool housing including a motor housing portion with a front end and a rear end, a transmission housing portion with a front end and a rear end coupled to the front end of the motor housing portion, and an operating head portion coupled to the front end of the transmission housing portion, the motor housing portion, the transmission housing portion, and the operating head portion arranged along a tool axis;
• a first handle coupled to the rear end of the motor housing portion;
• a second handle coupled to the operating head portion and including a handgrip;
• a motor at least partially received in the motor housing portion;
• a transmission at least partially received in the transmission housing portion;
• a battery receptacle defined in the motor housing portion and configured to receive a battery;
• and
• a cutting head at least partially receivable in the operating head portion and rotatable about a rotational axis that is transverse to the tool axis to form threads in a workpiece,
• wherein, when power is applied to the motor, the motor rotates, and the transmission transmits torque from the motor to the cutting head, causing the cutting head to rotate about the rotational axis and form threads in the workpiece, and
• wherein a center of gravity of the power tool is positioned at a portion of the tool housing that is substantially aligned with the handgrip of the second handle.

• a first handle having a front end coupled to the rear end of the motor housing portion;
• a second handle coupled to the operating head portion and including a handgrip;
• a motor at least partially received in the motor housing portion;
• a transmission at least partially received in the transmission housing portion;
• a battery receptacle coupled to the first handle and configured to receive a battery;
• and
• a cutting head at least partially receivable in the operating head portion and rotatable about a rotational axis that is transverse to the tool axis to form threads in a workpiece,
• wherein, when power is applied to the motor, the motor rotates, and the transmission transmits torque from the motor to the cutting head, causing the cutting head to rotate about the rotational axis and form threads in the workpiece, and
