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 impact tool that realizes an ON-lock function with a simple mechanism and makes it possible to switch between activation and deactivation of the ON-lock function with few operation processes is provided. A hammer drill having at least two operating modes including a hammer mode in which an impact force is transmitted to a tool bit whereas a rotational force is not transmitted thereto includes: a motor as a power source; a trigger lever and an ON-lock button that are operated by an operator; a sensor that detects whether a selected operating mode is the hammer mode or not; and a controller that controls the motor based on an operation of the trigger lever and the ON-lock button. When the ON-lock button is operated while the hammer mode is selected, the controller performs ON-lock control to maintain the motor in the operating state even when the trigger lever is not operated.

A drilling tool includes: a drive source; a bit attachment portion to which an end bit is attachable; a power transmission portion configured to apply a motive force to the end bit attached to the bit attachment portion; an operation portion switchable between an ON-state and an OFF-state by a manual operation and configured to receive a setting operation for setting a stop condition; and a controller configured to set the stop condition based on the setting operation, and to start driving of the drive source in response to a first switching operation for switching the operation portion from the OFF-state to the ON-state. In a state where the stop condition is set, even when the operation portion is in the ON-state, the controller stops driving of the drive source in response to the stop condition being met while the drive source is being driven.

A hammer drill includes a housing, a tool holder, a hammering member, a gear, and a conversion member. The gear is switched to a first state where a rotation of the intermediate shaft is transmitted and a second state where the rotation of the intermediate shaft is not transmitted, and a mode switching member is configured to perform a switching operation of the state of the gear from an outside of the housing. The switching of the state of the gear by the mode switching member provides at least two operation modes of a hammer drill mode where the gear integrally rotates with the intermediate shaft to generate the rotation and a reciprocation of the hammering member on the tool holder and a hammer mode where the gear is separated from the rotation of the intermediate shaft to generate only the reciprocation of the hammering member.

A power tool including a brushless motor having a sensor circuit board has higher durability. The power tool includes a housing, a brushless motor including a rotor having a rotational shaft, a stator, and a sensor circuit board fixed to the stator and having a rotation detecting element that detects rotation of the rotor, and receiving the rotational shaft through the sensor circuit board, and a bearing held in the housing and supporting the rotational shaft. The bearing is located to overlap the rotation detecting element in an axial direction of the rotational shaft.

A power tool contains a brushless motor that includes a stator having a stack thickness and an outer diameter, a rotor having a diameter, and a motor shaft extending from the rotor and having a rotational axis. A drive mechanism is operably coupled to the motor shaft and is configured to drive a tool accessory in relation to a drive axis. A first housing houses the motor and the drive mechanism. The drive axis does not intersect the brushless motor, but the rotational axis of the motor shaft intersects the drive axis. The outer diameter of the stator is at least five times greater than the stack thickness. Furthermore, the diameter of the rotor is greater than the stack thickness.

A power tool device, in particular a portable power tool, includes at least one signal switching unit that has at least one signal switching element that is actuable at least in order to activate a drive unit of the power tool. The power tool device further includes at least one operating mode selection unit that has at least one operating mode selection element that is actuable in order to select an operating mode of the drive unit, and at least one locking unit that has at least one locking actuating element at least for locking the signal switching element. The power tool device also includes at least one electronic unit that is configured to control and/or regulate the drive unit at least depending on an evaluation of a setting parameter of the locking actuating element.

A dust collecting system includes a power tool and a stationary dust collector. The power tool is configured to perform processing operation on a workpiece by driving a tool accessory. The stationary dust collector is configured to be placed separately from the power tool and to collect dust generated by the processing operation. The power tool includes a first motor and a driving mechanism configured to drive the tool accessory by power of the first motor. The dust collector includes a second motor and a fan configured to be rotationally driven by the second motor to generate air flow for collecting dust. The dust collecting system includes a control device configured to control a rotation speed of the second motor according to a driving state of the power tool.

A rotary hammer includes a tool body, a tool holder, a cylinder, and a coupling member. The tool holder has a tubular shape and a longitudinal axis. The tool holder is configured to hold a tool accessory to be movable along the longitudinal axis and is supported by the tool body to be rotatable around the longitudinal axis. The cylinder extends coaxially with the tool holder and is supported by the tool body to be rotatable around the longitudinal axis. The coupling member is between the tool holder and the cylinder in a radial direction of the tool holder and is engaged with the tool holder and the cylinder to couple the tool holder and the cylinder together such that the tool holder and the cylinder integrally rotate.
