A power tool has a motor, a rotary shaft and a housing. The rotary shaft has a first end portion on a first direction side and a second end portion on a second direction side in an axial direction of the rotary shaft. The housing is configured to store a lubricant on the first direction side of the first end portion of the rotary shaft. The rotary shaft has a first hole and a second hole. The first hole extends in the axial direction and that has a first opening in the first end portion of the rotary shaft. The second hole extends in a direction crossing an axis of the rotary shaft, that communicates with the first hole. The second hole has a second opening in an outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft. A spiral part is provided within the first hole.

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.

Electric hand-held power tool, in particular a hammer drill and/or rotary hammer, having a function setting tube, which can be actuated via a manual function selector switch to bring about various operating modes, a guide tube equipped with a tool fitting, and having a ball-type latching clutch for transmitting a rotary movement from the function setting tube to the guide tube, wherein the ball-type latching clutch has a radial aperture formed in the function setting tube, a main latching depression formed in the guide tube, a coupling ball mounted in the radial aperture and intended to engage in the main latching depression, and a spring-loaded cone ring against whose actuating force the coupling ball can deflect in the radial direction, wherein the guide tube has formed therein an auxiliary depression that is different from the main latching depression and whose opening angle is larger than an opening angle of the main latching depression.

A power tool communication system including an external device including a first controller configured to transmit, via wireless communication to a power tool, configuration data including a work light duration parameter value and a work light brightness parameter value. The power tool includes a housing, a brushless direct current (DC) motor, a trigger, a work light, a wireless communication circuit configured to wirelessly communicate with the external device to receive the configuration data, and a second controller configured to control a work light duration of the work light based on the work light duration parameter value, and control a work light brightness of the work light based on the work light brightness parameter value.

A power tool comprises a housing and a motor having a drive shaft. An output shaft is connectable to a tool. A mode selection mechanism is couplable between the drive shaft and the output shaft and arranged to transmit drive therebetween. The mode selection mechanism is moveable between a first position in which the power tool operates in a first mode and a second position in which the power tool operates in a second mode. A mode selection actuator is mounted on the housing and arranged to select at least the first position and the second position of the mode selection mechanism. An actuating rod is coupled between the mode selection mechanism and an engaging portion of the mode selection actuator. The engaging portion and rod are moveable in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the rod when the mode selection mechanism moves between the first and second positions.

An impact power tool including a housing, a motor supported by the housing, a spindle coupled to the motor for receiving torque from the motor to cause the spindle to rotate, and a reciprocating impact mechanism operable to create a variable pressure air spring within the spindle. The impact mechanism includes a striker received within the spindle that reciprocates along a reciprocation axis in response to the variable pressure air spring, a piston that reciprocates along the reciprocation axis to induce the variable pressure air spring, and a crankshaft configured to convert continuous rotational motion from the motor to reciprocating linear movement of the piston. The crankshaft defines a crank axis perpendicular to the reciprocation axis, and the motor defines a motor axis that is parallel with the reciprocation axis. A center of gravity of the impact power tool is positioned between the motor axis and the reciprocation axis.

A power tool, such as a rotary hammer, includes a housing, an output shaft for mounting a tool accessary and a motor having a motor shaft that generates a rotational output for rotating and linearly hammering the output shaft. The rotational output of the motor shaft is coupled to the output shaft via a driving mechanism that includes a hammer mechanism. An intervening member is axially movable relative to the motor shaft and is operably coupled between the motor shaft and the hammer mechanism. The hammer mechanism and the output shaft are supported by a movable support that is axially movable relative to the housing. Because the output shaft and the driving mechanism are movable relative to the motor and the housing, which preferably includes handle, via the intervening member and the movable support during hammering operations, vibration generated during hammering operations can be dampened before reaching the housing.
