A power machine tool (1) of the present disclosure includes a housing (10) and a control board (20), a power device (30), a bearing set (40), a transmission mechanism (50) and a torque axle (60) disposed in the housing (10). The power device (30) is disposed in the housing (10) via the bearing set (40) and transmits a torque via the transmission mechanism (50). The torque axle (60) is connected to a rear side of the power device (30) and rotates with the power device (30). In addition, a torque sensor (2) is arranged on the rear side of the power device (30) to detect the torque of the power machine tool.

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.

An electric tool includes an output shaft and a controller. The output shaft is configured to hold a tip tool and be rotated by motive power provided from an electric motor with the output shaft holding the tip tool. The controller is configured to control rotation of the output shaft in accordance with pressing force in a direction from a tip end of the tip tool toward the output shaft. The electric tool has, as an operation range, a restriction range in which rotation of the output shaft is restricted in a state where the pressing force is less than or equal to a prescribed value.

A tool system includes a portable tool, an image capturing unit, and a control unit. The tool includes a driving unit to be activated with power supplied from a power source. The image capturing unit is provided for the tool and generates a captured image. The control unit controls the tool based on the captured image. The control unit has a work support capability. The work support capability is the capability of placing a restriction on operation of the tool when a work target identified based on the captured image does not conform to a working instruction defined by a working procedure. The control unit suspends, when finding a lifting condition satisfied while performing work-support-enabled operation, the work-support-enabled operation and thereby lifts the restriction on the operation of the tool.

An impact tool includes an electric motor, an impact mechanism, an acquisition unit, and a behavior decision unit (retreat detection unit). The electric motor includes a permanent magnet and a coil. The impact mechanism performs an impact operation that generates impacting force by receiving motive power from the electric motor. The behavior decision unit makes, based on at least one of a torque current acquisition value (current measured value) which is a value of a torque current acquired by the acquisition unit or an excitation current acquisition value (current measured value) which is a value of an excitation current acquired by the acquisition unit, a decision about behavior of the impact mechanism.

A fastening device for fastening a bolt to a fastening target object, wherein the bolt has a bolt head female screw section in an inner circumferential surface of a recess provided in an upper surface of a bolt head section. The fastening device includes a tension rod having a rod male screw section engaging the bolt head female screw section; a drive socket circumferentially surrounding the tension rod and having a lower end section with a grasper for laterally grasping the bolt head section; a supporter circumferentially surrounding the drive socket and having a lower end section protruding downward beyond a lower end section of the drive socket; a sensor for sensing compression force acting on the supporter in the upward/downward direction; a first motor for rotating the tension rod around an axis extending in the upward/downward direction; and a second motor for rotating the drive socket around the axis.

A torque wrench such as a power wrench has a drive motor with an intermediate gearbox connected downstream of the drive motor and with a bolting gearbox connected downstream of the intermediate gearbox as a planetary gearbox with a bolting tool part on the output side, and with a housing with at least one handle in which the drive motor and the intermediate gearbox are arranged in sequence. The drive motor is non-rotatably arranged and fixed in the housing, and the intermediate gearbox is rotatably mounted in the housing and is non-rotatably connected to a ring gear of the planetary gearbox, so that, during a bolting operation, only the reaction forces occurring on the housing as a result of the drive motor have to be supported by an operator, and the reaction forces occurring as a result of the intermediate gearbox are supported by the torque support foot.
