    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a plurality of temperature sensors in power tools. An example power tool includes a first electrical component, a second electrical component, and an indication device. The power tool includes a first temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the first electrical component, and a second temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the second electrical component. A controller is connected to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor. The controller is configured to determine a temperature difference between a first temperature value associated with the first temperature sensor and a second temperature value associated with the second temperature sensor, compare the temperature difference to a temperature difference threshold, and provide, when the temperature difference satisfies the temperature difference threshold, a notification using the indication device.
