Power tool with battery vibration mitigation

A power tool comprising:

• a housing including a motor housing portion, an upper handle portion extending from the motor housing portion, and a lower handle portion coupled to the upper handle portion;
• a motor supported within the motor housing portion;
• a drive assembly operatively coupled to the motor, the drive assembly producing vibrations during operation of the power tool;
• a battery receptacle located within the lower handle portion;
• a battery at least partially insertable into the battery receptacle along a battery axis, the battery configured to provide power to the motor;
• and
• a vibration mitigation system configured to reduce transmission of the vibrations produced by the drive assembly from the upper handle portion to the lower handle portion, wherein the vibration mitigation system includes a damping element configured to dampen vibration in a direction along the battery axis and in all directions perpendicular to the battery axis.
