An electric working machine may include: a support rod constituted of metal; a tool disposed at a front end of the support rod; a motor configured to drive the tool; a control unit disposed at a rear end of the support rod and configured to control the motor; and a heat transfer structure configured to transfer heat from the control unit to the support rod.

A power tool can absorb the shock from suspension resulting from falling while preventing the power tool from falling on the ground. A power tool includes a tool holder attachable to the power tool. The tool holder includes an annular portion that receives a suspension member through the annular portion, a base supporting the annular portion, and at least one bend located between the annular portion and the base.

Inserts disposed in a housing of a pneumatically or hydraulically powered tool having a motor adapted to rotate a drive lug in either of first and second rotational directions. The insert is composed of a material resistive to creep and/or stress relaxation. The insert contacts fasteners applying a clamping force to the tool and remove the housing from the load path of the clamping force, thereby reducing the possibility of fluid leaks.

An electric motor-driven screwdriver includes a control circuit having a memory stored with setting data and a computing unit controlling the electric motor-driven screwdriver based on the setting data. The computing unit sets an execution order of work processes based on a pre-designated piece of order setting data, and sets, based on a next operation setting value, a next operation to be performed after completion of the final work process. The next operation setting value is selectable from among a setting value for stopping the operation of the electric motor-driven screwdriver, a setting value for repeating a series of work processes, and a setting value for shifting to a series of work processes in an execution order determined based on another piece of order setting data.

A chainsaw (electric working tool) includes a body case; a cutting part (working implement); and a motor, wherein the motor is mounted in a cooling route in the body case; an intake communicating with the cooling route is opened on the body case; an air filter is housed between the intake and the cooling route; the body case has a filter insertion/extraction hole through which the air filter can be inserted and removed; the intake is opened on the outer surface of the body case; and the filter insertion/extraction hole is arranged at a portion other than that of the intake so that the motor can be efficiently cooled, dust hardly enters the cooling route, and maintenance can be easily performed.

A power tool is provided with a tool housing, a support plate provided within the tool housing, a rear tool cap mounted on a rear end of the tool housing, and a brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor received within the housing. The motor includes a stator assembly having a stator core and stator windings, a front motor bearing supported by the support plate, a rear motor bearing supported by the rear tool cap, and a rotor including a rotor core and a magnet ring mounted around the rotor core. The rotor core defines an annular recess within which at portion of the front bearing and a portion of the support plate are located such that the a radial plane intersects the front bearing, the magnet ring, and the stator core.

This disclosure relates to a switch guard that prevents inadvertent pressing by a user of the direction-control switch of a handheld power tool. On each side of the housing of the tool, a pair of protrusions extend from the housing, one just to the front of the switch and one just to the rear. Whether the power tool is being operated right- or left-handed, the protrusions prevent a user's thumb or forefinger from inadvertently pressing the direction-control switch while the tool is in operation.
