Brushless direct current motor for power tools

A power tool comprising:

• a brushless electric motor including
• a rotor coupled to a shaft, the shaft defining a rotational axis,
• a stator in which the rotor is received, the stator including a core having a plurality of stator teeth, the core defining an outer circumference,
• an end cap provided adjacent an end of the core,
• a plurality of terminals mounted on the end cap, each terminal of the plurality of terminals includes an angled portion provided at a non-parallel angle to the rotational axis and extending outside the outer circumference of the core, and
• one or more coils wound around respective stator teeth of the plurality of stator teeth and the end cap to form a plurality of coil windings, wherein a portion of the one or more coils is routed by at least one of the plurality of terminals to form an electrical connection between at least one of the plurality of coil windings and the at least one of the plurality of terminals.
