Abstract: A power tool is provided including a housing and an electric motor including a stator and an armature rotatably received within the stator. The armature includes an armature shaft on which a commutator is mounted. The power tool includes a rear bearing mounted on the armature shaft adjacent the armature, and a brush assembly disposed around the commutator. The brush assembly includes a brush card, at least two brushes secured to the brush card around and in contact with the commutator, and a bridge cap extending from the brush card via legs and forming a bearing support for supporting the rearing bearing. At least one electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression component is provided having a first terminal electrically coupled to the brush(es) and a second terminal electrically coupled to the rear bearing through the bridge cap so as to substantially ground the second terminal of the EMI suppression component.
