Power hand tools, such as motorized ratchet wrenches and drivers, are commonly used in automotive, industrial and household applications to install and remove threaded fasteners and to apply a torque and/or angular displacement to a work piece such as a threaded fastener, for example. Motorized hand tools, such as cordless power ratchets and drivers, generally include an electric motor contained in a clamshell housing along with other components such as switches, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and batteries, for example. The clamshell housing generally includes two or more housing portions fastened together by fasteners such as screws or rivets. Windows in the clamshell housings may be provided for mounting the LEDs. The windows may be overmolded with a transparent or semitransparent material such as rubber or plastic to allow passage of light from the LEDs while protecting the internal components from water, dust and other foreign material.
Securely locating an LED in the clamshell housing has previously been accomplished by mounting the LED to a separate component such as a snap fit plastic insert or printed circuit board (PCB) before installing the LED and the separate component in the housing. These techniques have increased manufacturing costs by increasing the assembly steps and number of parts used to manufacture the motorized hand tool.
