Zusammenfassung:	Abstract A motorized hand tool, such as a cordless ratchet wrench, is configured for reducing part count and reducing assembly processes. The motorized hand tool includes an overmolded window for a light emitting diode (LED) in a clamshell housing. An LED is secured within the 5 clamshell housing by conductors extending from the LED that are encapsulated in rigid sleeves. The rigid sleeves provide a friction fit in a channel between fingers molded in the clamshell housing. A switch assembly of the motorized hand tool is mounted in the clamshell housing and covers channel to contains the conductors and sleeves. By containment of the rigid sleeves and conductors, the LED is located securely in the overmolded window. hil x(JI Y11---
