Power tool with vibration isolated handle

A power tool comprising

• a tool body,
• a handle supported on the tool body and movable relative to the tool body between a resting first position and fully compressed second position, and
• a spring mounted between the tool body and the handle, the spring being prestressed to create a spring force that biases the handle toward the first position, wherein movement of the handle from the first position to the second position corresponds with a change in the spring force from a first force to a second force, the first force being at least 50% of the second force.

A vibratory tool comprising

• a tool body,
• a handle mounted on the tool body, the vibratory tool having a predetermined preferred range of operator applied pressure levels on the handle for tool operation, the preferred range of operator applied pressure levels including a preferred minimum operator applied pressure level, and a preferred maximum operator applied pressure level, and
• means for tactiley indicating to a tool operator when operator applied pressure on the handle is within the preferred range of operator applied pressure levels, the means for tactiley indicating to a tool operator when operator applied pressure on the handle is within the preferred range of operator applied pressure levels including a spring positioned between the tool body and the handle, the spring having a spring rate of less than 6 pounds per inch.
