A percussion tool, for performing a chiseling operation on a workpiece with a chisel, comprises a housing including a front side, and rear side, and opposite lateral sides extending between the front and rear sides, a first handle coupled to a first of the lateral sides of the housing, a second handle coupled to a second of the lateral sides of the housing, the first and second handles oriented coaxially along a handle axis, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation relative to the housing along a striker axis, and a light source that produces light to illuminate the workpiece. The chisel is configured to deliver repeated axial impacts to the workpiece in response to receiving repeated axial impacts from the striker.

The disclosure is based on an electronic module for an insert tool, in particular a drill bit or a chisel, including at least one electronic device for processing and/or sensing insert-tool-specific characteristics, including at least one holding device for releasably holding the electronic device on the insert tool. The holding device having at least one insert-tool interface having at least one contact surface that, when the holding device is arranged on the insert tool, is in contact, in particular in direct contact, with the insert tool, and including at least one damping unit for damping vibrations acting on the electronic device. The damping unit at least partially constitutes the insert-tool interface.

A workability of a driving work machine is improved by reduction in vibration transmitted to a housing. A driving work machine 10 includes: a cylinder 21 applying a rotational force to a tip tool; a piston 33 applying a striking force to the tip tool; a driving source generating a power; a switching part 61 making switching between at least two operational states including a rotational striking state of transmitting the power as a striking force and a rotational force to the tip tool and a rotational state of transmitting the power as the rotational force but not transmitting the power as the striking force to the tip tool; and a housing 12. The cylinder 21 includes a pushing part 46 pushing the switching part 61 rearward, the switching part 61 is able to switch an operational state of the cylinder 21 by the rearward movement caused by the pushing force of the pushing part 46, and a rubber annular member 72 serving as an anti-vibration part is arranged between the pushing part 46 and the preventing part 71.

A power tool is provided that includes a tool carrier for mounting an impact tool. The tool carrier has a base member aligned with an operational axis. The base member has a head end for receiving impact energy, a foot end provided with a tool mount configured to transmit the impact energy to the impact tool, and a casing engagement feature between the head end and foot end. A first casing module is provided with a tool carrier engagement feature complementary in shape to, and for interlocking engagement with, the tool carrier casing engagement feature to prevent rotation of the tool carrier relative to the first casing module around the operational axis, and permits relative movement between the tool carrier and the first casing module along the operational axis.

A nail punching machine for driving in or pulling out rail spikes includes a driving mechanism, which is driven by an electric drive motor. The electric drive motor is supplied with electric power by an accumulator. The nail punching machine is held by an operator by at least one handle.

Provided is an electric tool with which work efficiency can be improved. A controller of an electric tool can execute: a first control, whereby during a non-operating state after a motor has started up and before a tip tool is set to be in an operating state, the motor is driven at a slow idling rotation speed, and when the tip tool is set to be in the operating state, the motor is driven at a normal rotation speed which is higher than the slow idling rotation speed; and a second control, whereby in a case where a trigger switch has been turned off in a state where the motor is being driven at the normal rotation speed and the trigger switch is thereafter turned on again under a prescribed condition, the motor is driven at the normal rotation speed regardless of the state of the tip tool.
