    Abstract: Power tools that include a housing, a motor supported by the housing, a battery pack interface configured to receive a battery pack that includes a plurality of battery cells, an inverter positioned between and electrically connected to the battery pack interface and the motor, a gate driver connected to the inverter and configured to control a current in the inverter, a controller configured to control the gate driver, and a short circuit detection circuit. The short circuit detection circuit is configured to monitor the current in the inverter, compare the current in the inverter to a short circuit threshold, and control a switch of the short circuit detection circuit to disable the gate driver when the current in the inverter is greater than or equal to the short circuit threshold.
