An improved technique relating to mounting of a battery in an impact tool which has a handle configured to move with respect to a tool body. A hammer drill has a body, a handle part and a battery mounting part. The handle part is configured to slide with respect to the body under a biasing force of a coil spring. The battery mounting part has a plurality of mounting parts. At least one of the mounting parts of the battery mounting part is connected to the handle part and slides together with the handle part with respect to the body during operation.

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

A side handle for a hand-operated power tool includes a handle rod disposed along a handle axis and a fastening mechanism, where the side handle is releasably fastenable to the hand-operated power tool by the fastening mechanism. The fastening mechanism includes a tensioning band that engages around a fastening axis and a tensioning mechanism. The tensioning mechanism has a pull rod that is anchored to the tensioning band and is displaceable along the handle axis and a tensioning wheel that is rotatable about the handle axis and engages in an external thread of the pull rod. A damper connects the handle rod to the fastening mechanism and includes a leaf spring with a longitudinal side oriented in an inclined manner to the fastening axis where the leaf spring has a slot. A splint is fastened to the pull rod and engages in the slot.

A rotary hammer includes a motor and a spindle coupled to the motor for receiving torque from the motor. The spindle has an adjustable rotation speed. A reciprocation mechanism is operable to create a variable pressure air spring within the spindle and includes a piston configured to reciprocate within the spindle in response to receiving torque from the motor. The piston has an adjustable reciprocation frequency. A striker is selectively reciprocable within the spindle in response to reciprocation of the piston. A first transmission is transfers torque from the motor to the spindle and a second transmission is transfers torque from the motor to the reciprocation mechanism. The reciprocation frequency of the piston is adjustable independent of the rotation speed of the spindle. The rotation speed of the spindle is adjustable independent of the reciprocation frequency of the piston. At least one of the transmissions is a multi-speed transmission.

An electric power tool dust collection system includes: a hammer drill, to which a dust suction bit is mounted; a dust collection device mounted to the hammer drill and including a suction portion (introduction port), a dust collection motor, a dust collection fan rotated by drive of the dust collection motor to generate a sucking force in the introduction port, and a dust collection portion (dust box) that stores powder dust suctioned from the introduction port; and exhaust flow paths (exhaust flow path and tubular flow path) respectively formed in the hammer drill and the dust collection device to lead exhaust that has passed through the dust box to a high-temperature portion (output portion) of the hammer drill.

Handle apparatus on a power tool, in particular a chipping hammer, having a drive, a control device, a transmission device, wherein the handle apparatus contains a lever element that is pivotable relative to a housing of the power tool. The lever element is movable reversibly relative to the housing of the power tool by exertion of a force in one direction, and a sensor device is contained for sensing at least one first or second position of the lever element relative to the housing of the power tool, wherein a first rotational speed value for the drive is settable depending on the first sensed position of the lever element relative to the housing of the power tool or at least one second rotational speed value for the drive is settable depending on the second sensed position of the lever element relative to the housing of the power tool.

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.

A power tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, a main housing, a handle housing, a first guide part and a second guide part. The handle housing is movable relative to the main housing at least in a front-rear direction. The first and second guide parts are configured to guide relative sliding between the main housing and the handle housing in the front-rear direction. Each of the first guide part and the second guide part includes a first engagement part and a second engagement part engaged with each other to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The main housing has the first engagement part. The handle housing has the second engagement part. The second guide part is spaced apart from the first guide part and located rearward of the first guide part in the front-rear direction.

A rotary hammer selectively operates in multiple modes including a first mode and a second mode. The rotary hammer includes a switch, a motor, a switch manipulation member, a locking member, and a mode detecting device. The switch manipulation member includes a body, and a protrusion that is movable between a protruding position and a retracted position. The body houses a solenoid configured to operate based on a detection result of the mode detecting device. The locking member is movable between an unlock position and a lock position where the locking member holds the switch manipulation member in an ON position by abutting the protrusion in the protruding position. The protrusion is integrated with a plunger of the solenoid. The protrusion is configured to be in the protruding position when the present mode is the first mode, and in the retracted position when the present mode is the second mode.
