1. A pneumatic power tool, comprising:a housing, a motor, a pressure air inlet passage and an exhaust air outlet passage both located in the housing and communicating with the motor, and an outlet deflector movably mounted on the housing for directing the exhaust air flow leaving said outlet passage

1. A pneumatic power tool, comprising:a housing, a motor, a pressure air inlet passage and an exhaust air outlet passage both located in the housing and communicating with the motor, and an outlet deflector movably mounted on the housing for directing the exhaust air flow leaving said outlet passage in any desired direction, wherein said deflector comprises a shell body with an inlet opening located in a substantially co-axial relationship with said outlet passage, an outlet opening facing a direction substantially perpendicular to said inlet opening, and a concave guide surface arranged to divert the exhaust air flow from said inlet opening to said outlet opening, and wherein at least two parallel flow dividing vanes extend in parallel with and without affecting the flow direction through said shell body, and said flow dividing vanes form a main flow passage and at least two auxiliary flow passages which are parallel to but narrower than said main flow passage. 2. A power tool according to claim 1, wherein said flow dividing vanes extend over a main part of said shell body.3. A power tool according to claim 2, wherein said shell body has an annular elastically expandable neck portion surrounding said inlet opening and arranged to be received in said outlet passage, and said neck portion is formed with an outer-shoulder which is brought into a locking engagement with an internal circumferential groove in said outlet passage by elastic expansion of said neck portion as said neck portion is inserted in said outlet passage.4. A power tool according to claim 3, wherein a wire spring element is mounted inside said neck portion to enhance an elastic expansion force of said neck portion and strengthen the locking engagement between said neck portion and the housing.5. A power tool according to claim 4, wherein said wire spring element is substantially Ω-shaped and forms an axial support of one or more noise attenuating elements located in said outlet passage.6. A power tool according to claim 5, wherein said housing includes a pistol type handle in which said inlet and outlet passages are located, and wherein said outlet deflector is mounted at an extreme end of said handle.7. A power tool according to claim 4, wherein said housing includes a pistol type handle in which said inlet and outlet passages are located, and wherein said outlet deflector is mounted at an extreme end of said handle.8. A power tool according to claim 3, wherein said housing includes a pistol type handle in which said inlet and outlet passages are located, and wherein said outlet deflector is mounted at an extreme end of said handle.9. A power tool according to claim 2, wherein said housing includes a pistol type handle in which said inlet and outlet passages are located, and wherein said outlet deflector is mounted at an extreme end of said handle.10. A power tool according to claim 1, wherein said shell body has an annular elastically expandable neck portion surrounding said inlet opening and arranged to be received in said outlet passage, and said neck portion is formed with an outer-shoulder which is brought into a locking engagement with an internal circumferential groove in said outlet passage by elastic expansion of said neck portion as said neck portion is inserted in said outlet passage.11.
