The disclosure provides a work tool having an electric motor, a power transmission means that receives motive power from the electric motor and transmits the motive power to a tip tool, a gear housing for accommodating at least a portion of the power transmission means, weights swingably supported on the gear housing, and coil springs that function as an urging means for urging the weights such that the weights are located at an initial neutral position, wherein the weights and the coil springs are provided respectively on the two sides of the gear housing so as to put the power transmission means therebetween, and a rotational support axle is provided that functions as a connecting means for connecting the weights provided on both sides of the gear housing so as to connect the weights such that the weights swing integrally.

A sliding center of gravity hammer is disclosed herein allows the user to slide a heavy weight to various positions in the barrel of the hammer for different applications. When more force is needed to drive a nail, the heavy weight could be locked in the first position which is closest to the hammer head. When less force is needed, the heavy weight could be locked in the third position which is closest to the handle end. The embodiment allows the user to adjust the weight of the hammer to the user's needs when working on many different applications which increases the operation efficiency and reduces risk of injury to the user.

A deadblow tool, comprising a head with one or more striking surfaces; a handle joined to or molded as one with the head; a plurality of hollow chambers within the tool embodiment; a plurality of freely moveable material partially filling the hollow chambers; and an embodiment in the form of a hammer, mallet, axe, or annular maul. The tool has hollow chambers created as part of the tool embodiment or created separately as chamber cartridges to be inserted into the tool embodiment. The hollow chambers and chamber cartridges vary in size and shape and the freely moveable material varies in density and volume to accommodate mass distribution and the adjustments thereof provide facilitation to further tune the tool balance and strike performance. Construction methods of chamber cartridges and deadblow handles, hammers, mallets, axes, and mauls are also provided.

A percussion tool comprises a housing, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing along a first axis, and a pair of handles coupled to the housing. The handles define a second axis. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack removably coupled to the housing for providing power to the motor when coupled to the housing. The first and second axes are contained within first and second planes, respectively, that are parallel to each other.

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.

A percussion tool includes a housing, a percussion mechanism including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing along a first axis, and an anti-vibration system for attenuating vibration in a direction of the first axis. The anti-vibration system includes a linkage coupling the percussion mechanism to the housing. The linkage permits relative movement between the housing and the percussion mechanism along the first axis. The anti-vibration system also includes a counterweight supported by the percussion mechanism for relative movement therewith along a second axis that is parallel with the first axis. The counterweight reciprocates out of phase with the striker to attenuate vibration in the direction of the first axis.

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.

A sleeve is disclosed for use with a piston of a hydraulic hammer. The sleeve may have a generally cylindrical body with a top end and a bottom end, and a central bore passing axially from the top end of the generally cylindrical body to the bottom end. The generally cylindrical body may be a composite structure including a guide layer forming an inner annular surface of the central bore, an energizer layer located radially outward of the guide layer and being bonded to the guide layer, and a support layer bonded to the energizer layer. The support layer may form an outer surface of the generally cylindrical body.

A slide hammer tool including a shaft having first and second opposing ends, a handle slidably coupled to the shaft, and a slide hammer weight assembly removable coupled to the handle via threaded fasteners. The slide hammer weight assembly including a number of slide hammer weights coupled together.

A portable power tool is disclosed. The tool has a tool holder in which a tool can be moveably inserted on a working axis in a striking direction. A percussion mechanism has a striker coupled via a pneumatic chamber to an exciter moved periodically along the working axis and an intermediate striker arranged in the striking direction downstream from striker. The intermediate striker is guided in a slide bearing with a tolerance coaxially to the working axis. The intermediate striker has a ring-shaped bead. A hollow-cylindrical backstop is arranged in the striking direction upstream from the bead. The backstop is moveably guided on a sliding surface with radial play along working axis. The radial play is at least three times as large as a tolerance of the guide of the intermediate striker in the slide bearing.
