A system includes first and second power tools that each have a percussion mechanism, a motor, and a transmission. The transmission includes a striking mechanism and is configured to transfer a driving motion of the motor to an insert tool held in a tool holder. The transmission has a guide tube that is identical in some regions along a working axis and accommodates a striker. The guide tube is rotatably coupled to the motor by a first transmission unit. The striker is driven to linearly oscillate by a piston of a second transmission unit. A ratio between a diameter of the tool holder and a diameter of the guide tube is 1.8 times greater in the first power tool than in the second power tool. A striking energy of the second power tool is mechanically reduced compared to a striking energy of the first power tool.

A power tool includes a motor, a housing, a battery holder and a cushion. The battery holder is held by the housing to be movable at least in a first direction relative to the housing. The battery holder is configured to removably receive a battery for supplying electric power to the motor. The cushion is held by the housing such that the first direction intersects the cushion. When the battery is attached to the battery holder, the cushion is directly or indirectly disposed between the battery and the housing.

A piston for a hammer drill is a flat piston made from sintered steel. The piston can be impregnated with a lubricant.

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.

A rotary power tool includes a housing having a motor housing portion and a handle portion extending therefrom. An electric motor is positioned within the motor housing portion. The rotary power tool further includes a trigger switch configured to activate and deactivate the motor. The rotary power tool further includes a non-contact speed selector switch that is separate from the trigger switch and configured to adjust a rotational speed of the motor. The non-contact speed selector switch is positioned in a foot of the handle portion opposite the motor housing portion.

An electric power tool is configured to rotate an attachment about a Z-axis. The electric power tool includes a three-axes acceleration sensor and an acceleration detection circuit. The acceleration detection circuit calculates an angular acceleration about the Z-axis based on an input signal from the three-axes acceleration sensor. The acceleration detection circuit calculates a change in an angular velocity based on integrating the angular acceleration for a most recent period. The acceleration detection circuit determines a Z-axis angular velocity about the Z-axis, without adding a previous change in the angular velocity from before the most recent period, as equal to the change in angular velocity. The acceleration detection circuit detects a twisted-motion of the electric power tool based on the Z-axis angular velocity.

An impact tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, and a vibration sensor. The driving mechanism is configured to perform a hammering operation of linearly driving a tool accessory along an impact-axis by power of the motor. The impact-axis extends in a front-rear direction of the impact tool. The vibration sensor is configured to detect vibrations. The vibration sensor is disposed such that the vibration sensor is capable of detecting vibrations of a first frequency among vibrations caused in the impact tool, and such that transmission of vibrations of a second frequency to the vibration sensor is suppressed. The vibrations of the first frequency result from the hammering operation. The second frequency is different from the first frequency.

A work tool, in which any one of a plurality of operation modes is selectable and which is configured to operate according to the selected operation mode, includes a switch for driving a tool accessory, an operation member, a mode switching member and a movement restricting mechanism. The operation member is configured to be held in an off-position in a non-pressed state and configured to move to an on-position in response to an external pressing operation. The mode switching member is configured to be switched between a plurality of switching positions in response to an external operation, the switching positions respectively corresponding to the operation modes. The movement restricting mechanism is configured to restrict a movement of the operation member from the off-position to the on-position in interlock with a switching operation of the mode switching member.

A hand-held impact tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, a tool body, a main handle, a first detection part, a second detection part and a control part. The tool body is configured such that an auxiliary handle is removably attached thereto. The main handle is connected to the tool body. The first detection part is configured to detect selected one of a plurality of modes. The second detection part is configured to detect whether or not the auxiliary handle is attached to the tool body. The control part is configured to control operation of the impact tool based on detection results of the first detection part and the second detection part.

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.
