A percussion tool comprises a housing and an electric motor positioned within the housing. The motor has a nominal outer diameter of up to about 80 mm and is operable to output at least about 2760 W. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor. The battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells having a nominal voltage of up to 80 Volts and a sustained operating discharge current of between about 40 A and about 60 A. The percussion tool further comprises a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing. The percussion tool has a ratio of impact energy to mass that is greater than or equal to 2.5 Joules/kilogram.

An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes an output shaft, a motor, a housing, an acceleration detector, a twisted motion detector, a reference level changer, and a motor controller. The acceleration detector detects an acceleration of the housing in a circumferential direction of the output shaft. The twisted motion detector detects a twisted motion of the housing based on a reference level and the acceleration detected. The reference level determines that the housing is twisted. The reference level changer changes the reference level based on a rotating motion of the output shaft.

A percussion tool comprises a housing, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the electric motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing, a battery pack removably coupled to the housing for providing power to the electric motor when coupled to the housing, and an electronic controller including an electronic processor and a memory. The electronic controller is coupled to the electric motor and configured to activate the motor and determine whether the percussion tool is in a loaded condition. In response to determining that the percussion tool is in the loaded condition, the electronic controller is configured to operate the motor in accordance with a predetermined profile and in response to determining that the percussion tool is in a no load condition, the electronic controller is configured to operate the motor at a no-load speed.

The portable power chiseling tool has a tool holder, an electric motor, a striking mechanism and an idle strike catcher. The tool holder can receive a tool and retain it movably on a working axis. The striking mechanism includes an exciter piston, a striker, an anvil and a guide for the anvil. The exciter piston is coupled to the electric motor. The guide guides the anvil on the working axis. The idle strike catcher for the anvil has a conical inner surface facing the anvil. The anvil has an associated end face facing in the striking direction. The end face rests against the conical inner surface when the anvil is in its forwardmost position in the striking direction. The end face of the anvil has a first segment and a second segment in the circumferential direction. The second segment is offset in the striking direction relative to the first segment.

A power tool accessory for elevating the base of a power tool from off a work surface and a method of use. The accessory or ski comprises a bridge, a first side wall coupled to the bridge, and a second side wall coupled to the bridge opposite the first side wall. The bridge, the first side wall, and the second side wall form an upper surface and an opening through which a power cord may pass. The upper surface is configured to receive a base of a power tool. Because the ski elevated the power tool from off of a work surface, dust, debris, and grit is not brought into the intake of the power tool, the power cord is not kinked, and the base of the power tool is not worn down on the work surface.

A handheld power tool 1 has a tool socket 2 to hold a tool along a working axis 11. A motor-driven, pneumatic striking mechanism 6 has an exciter 17 which is driven by a motor 5, a striker 14 that is coupled to the exciter 17 via a pneumatic chamber 19, and an intermediate striker 22 arranged on the working axis 11 in the striking direction 12 behind the striker 14. A ventilation opening 30 connects a cavity 29 situated between the striker 14 and the intermediate striker 22 to the environment. A valve 38 that closes the ventilation opening 30 is opened when actuated by the intermediate striker 22 when the intermediate striker 22 is moved into its working position counter to the striking direction 12.

A power tool contains a brushless motor that includes a stator having a stack thickness and an outer diameter, a rotor having a diameter, and a motor shaft extending from the rotor and having a rotational axis. A drive mechanism is operably coupled to the motor shaft and is configured to drive a tool accessory in relation to a drive axis. A first housing houses the motor and the drive mechanism. The drive axis does not intersect the brushless motor, but the rotational axis of the motor shaft intersects the drive axis. The outer diameter of the stator is at least five times greater than the stack thickness. Furthermore, the diameter of the rotor is greater than the stack thickness.

A hydraulic, pneumatic, gasoline, diesel, or electric tool may include a spindle that is adapted for rotational movement. A swing arm may be coupled to the spindle such that rotational motion of the spindle is transferred to the swing arm. The swing arm makes contact with a piston such that the rotational motion causes the piston to move along a linear path. The piston may interact with an energy storage medium when the swing arm moves the piston in the first direction, causing energy to be stored in the energy storage medium. As the swing arm continues to rotate, the swing arm may lose contact with the piston, thus allowing the energy storage medium to urge the piston in a second direction opposite the first direction to strike an anvil. The swing arm may be a multiple roller swing arm. The energy storage medium may be a compound spring assembly.
