Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a battery powered tool (1) extending in a longitudinal direction (Z), comprising a tool body (10) and a battery pack (20), which battery pack is arranged on the tool body and adapted to power the tool. The tool body is provided with a through aperture adapted to receive the battery pack, such that the tool body at least partly surrounds the battery pack.

Claims

1. A battery powered tool extending in a longitudinal direction, comprising a tool body and a battery pack, which battery pack is arranged on the tool body and adapted to power the tool,

wherein the tool body is provided with a through aperture adapted to receive the battery pack, such that the tool body at least partly surrounds the battery pack.

2. Battery powered tool according to claim 1, wherein the through aperture elongates in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction of the tool.

3. Battery powered tool according to claim 1, wherein a length of the battery pack is substantially the same as a length of the through aperture.

4. Battery powered tool according to claim 1, wherein at least one end of the battery pack protrudes outside the tool body when mounted in the through aperture.
