The driver body can be formed of titanium and can include an engagement surface with a plurality of teeth that matingly engage respective teeth that are formed on the edge of a flywheel that is associated with the motor assembly.
1. A tool comprising:
a driver having a driver blade and an upper driver member that is coupled to the driver blade, the upper driver member having a driver body that is formed of titanium; and
a motor having an output member, the output member contacting a surface of the upper driver member to transmit energy from the output member to the upper driver member to translate the driver along an axis.
2. The tool of claim 1 , wherein the upper driver member includes a wear-resistant coating that is coupled to the driver body.
3. The tool of claim 2 , wherein the wear-resistant coating is at least partially formed of at least one of a tungsten carbide, tantalum tungsten carbide, nickel and chrome.
4. The tool of claim 1 , wherein the driver body defines a cavity with a plurality of locking elements and the driver blade includes a plurality of mating locking elements that engage the locking elements.
5. The tool of claim 4 , wherein the locking elements are teeth.
6. The tool of claim 4 , wherein the driver further includes a gap filling material that is disposed between the locking elements and the mating locking elements.
7. The tool of claim 6 , wherein the gap filling material is selected from at least one material from a group of materials consisting of plastic, epoxy, brass and zinc.
8. The tool of claim 1 , wherein the output member provides a rotary output.
9. The tool of claim 1 , wherein the motor includes an electric motor.
10. The tool of claim 9 , wherein the output member is a flywheel.
