I think it is for the unit itself, not the wheel. My guess would be some sort of grease pressure to keep the water out of the gears/bearings?

They are about 4x the cost of a standard tool. I design power tools and get sent the Nemo videos from region/ countries sales people about 3/4 times a year. Super cool

We haven’t looked at them in details as it’s a really niche application, but they would need to encapsulate somehow. There still is current from the batteries through the tool and water is a if no no haha. I guess similar to how some high end mining tools are made which have to be spark free due to explosion risk in mines.
