The drill includes a motor, a spindle rotatable with a rotational force transmitted from the motor, a clutch assembly that disables transmission of the rotational force to the spindle in response to a rotational load on the spindle reaching a release value and including an elastic member that adjusts the release value, and a change ring switchable from a clutch mode in which the clutch assembly is operable to a nonclutch mode in which the clutch assembly is inoperable in response to the change ring operated in a forward rotation direction. In the clutch mode, the elastic member elastically deforms to reduce the release value in response to the change ring operated in the forward rotation direction, and to increase the release value in response to the change ring operated in a backward rotation direction.

An impact power tool includes a transmission output shaft, a rotary impact assembly with a cam shaft, hammer, and anvil, and a tool output shaft rotatable with the anvil. A coupler removably couples the cam shaft to the transmission output shaft. When torque on the tool output shaft is less than or equal to a first threshold, the transmission output shaft, cam shaft, hammer, and anvil rotate together to transmit torque to the tool output shaft. When torque on the tool output shaft is above the first threshold, the hammer moves along the cam shaft away from the anvil by a first distance and applies rotary impacts to the anvil. When the hammer moves along the cam shaft away from the anvil by a second distance greater than the first distance, the coupler decouples the transmission output shaft from the cam shaft, interrupting torque transmission to the tool output shaft.

A multi-function handheld electric tool includes a motor housing receiving a motor, a settable clutch coupled with a speed reduction transmission, transmission housing coupled to the motor housing and having a first housing portion coupled to the motor housing, and a second housing portion extending from the first portion towards a chuck, and a setting collar which is rotatably fit over the second housing portion of the transmission housing and rotatable between a plurality of predetermined angular positions of which at least one corresponds to a non-torque limited first operation mode of the tool and the remaining positions correspond to different torque output levels of a torque limited second operation mode of the tool.

A reducer appropriately selects from three or more variable speeds to match multiple operational modes. An impact driver includes a motor, a reducer that reduces rotation from the motor to select from three or more variable speeds, a plurality of actuators to be actuated by the rotation reduced by the reducer, and a switcher that selects, from the plurality of actuators, a specific actuator to be actuated in a predetermined operational mode. The switcher causes the reducer to cooperate with the selected specific actuator and actuates the reducer at a predetermined variable speed of the three of more variable speeds corresponding to the predetermined operational mode of the selected specific actuator.

A hand-held power tool having hammer-drilling, drilling and screwing modes, including a mode-setting device having an actuating element, a setting element, and a gear unit for driving an output shaft, in which the actuating and setting elements are interconnected in a rotatably fixed manner, and, in an operating mode(s), the setting element is coupled to a transmission element supported at a coupling housing assigned to the gear unit and axially displaceable at the coupling housing in a screwing position associated with the screwing mode and is axially fixed in position at the coupling housing in hammer-drilling and drilling positions of the corresponding modes; the transmission element is connected to the coupling housing in a rotatably fixed manner, a predefined operating mode being settable by rotating the setting element; the setting and transmission elements being rotatable relative to one another, the setting element embracing at least sections of the transmission element.

An impact drill includes an output shaft capable of rotating around a first axis and moving along the first axis, a housing, a first impact block fixedly connected to the output shaft, a second impact block, a stopping element for stopping the output shaft from moving backward, and a movable element mounted on the housing. The housing is formed with a through hole for accommodating the movable element. The through hole passes through the housing in a first line and the movable element is capable of moving to a first position and a second position along the first line. When the movable element moves to the first position, the movable element prevents the output shaft from moving backward. When the movable element moves to the second position, the movable element allows the output shaft to move backward.

Rotation of a spindle relative to a first cam is reduced. A power tool includes a spindle to receive a tip tool and rotatable about a rotation axis, and a vibration mechanism that vibrates the spindle in an axial direction. The spindle has an outer surface including, in a cross section orthogonal to the rotation axis, a first portion at a first distance from the rotation axis, and a second portion at a second distance from the rotation axis. The vibration mechanism includes a first cam surrounding the spindle, and a second cam located behind and in contact with the first cam.

An electric pulse tool for performing tightening operations, where torque is delivered in pulses to tighten a screw joint, includes an output shaft, a sensor arranged to determine a parameter value associated with the tightening of the screw joint, a processor, and a memory containing instructions executable by the processor. The electrical pulse tool operates to provide torque pulses on the output shaft in a first direction until the determined parameter value associated with the tightening of the screw joint reaches within or above a predetermined first interval including a target parameter value. The electrical pulse tool also operates to provide at least one torque pulse on the output shaft in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction in case the determined parameter value exceeds the target parameter value within a predetermined second interval.

A power tool, such as a hammer driver-drill (1), includes a spindle (26) that is axially and rotatable supported inside a metal gear case (41). A first cam (83) is affixed to the spindle so as to rotate therewith and is housed in the gear case (41). A second cam (84) is disposed around spindle such that it is rotatable separately with respect to the spindle and can be brought into contact with the first cam. Hammer-switching levers (95) are movable relative to the gear case between an advanced position, at which rotation of the second cam is restricted (blocked), and a retracted position, at which the rotational restriction on the second cam is released. Receiving members (89) are respectively interposed between the gear case and the hammer-switching levers and are configured to absorb vibration generated when a hammering operation is being performed using the power tool.
