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.

A power tool and a safety control circuit module and a safety control method thereof are provided. The power tool includes a power supply device, a control processing device, a safety control circuit module, and a power output device. The control processing device is electrically connected with the power supply device. The safety control circuit module includes a first switch control circuit, a second switch control circuit, a third switch control circuit, a first resistor, and a first diode. The power output device includes a first power connection terminal and a second power connection terminal. Before switch units of the control circuits are controlled, the control processing device detects whether the switch unit has failed, so as to increase safety.

A control method for tightening a threaded connection executes, in response to actuation of a pushbutton key, a sequence with consecutive phases. In a first phase, an impact mechanism of an impact wrench exerts a predefined number of rotary impacts on the threaded connection. During the first phase, a profile of a rotational angle over time is estimated. A pattern is adapted to the profile and on the basis of the pattern a setpoint torque is determined for a second phase and a final rotational angle or a final number of impacts is determined for a third phase. During the second phase, rotary impacts are exerted until an estimated torque reaches the setpoint torque. During the third phase, rotary impacts are exerted on the threaded connection until a number of rotary impacts corresponds to the final number or a rotational angle corresponds to the final rotational angle.

Illustrative embodiments of impact tools with impact mechanisms rigidly coupled to electric motors are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, an impact tool may comprise an impact mechanism, an electric motor, and a control circuit. The impact mechanism may comprise a hammer and an anvil, the hammer being configured to rotate about a first axis and to periodically impact the anvil to drive rotation of the anvil about the first axis. The electric motor may comprise a rotor that is rigidly coupled to the impact mechanism, the electric motor being configured to drive rotation of the hammer about the first axis. The control circuit may be configured to supply a current to the electric motor and to prevent the current from exceeding a threshold in response to the hammer impacting the anvil.

Control method for a dust extraction module (2) for a chiseling tool (5), including the following steps: using a fan (18) of the dust extraction module (2) to draw in an air flow Q from a certain place of a substrate (31) being worked by the tool (5), using a material detector (24) to identify the material M at the place of the substrate being worked by the tool (5), and adapting the suction power of the dust extraction module (2) as a function of the identified material M in order to set the air flow Q. The air flow Q is greater than or equal to a rated value Qo in the case of an iron-free mineral material M1, whereas the air flow Q is less than the rated value Qo in the case of a material M2 containing iron.

An orthopedic impacting tool comprises a motor, an energy storage chamber, a striker, and an anvil. The motor stores energy in the energy storage chamber and then releases it, causing the striker to apply a controlled force on an adapter to create a precise impact for use in a surgical setting. The tool may further comprise a combination anvil and adapter. The tool further allows forward or backward impacting for expanding the size or volume of the opening or for facilitating removal of a broach, implant, or other surgical implement from the opening. An energy adjustment control of the tool allows a surgeon to increase or decrease the impact energy. A light source and hand grips improve ease of operation of the tool.

A rotary hammer adapted to impart axial impacts to a tool bit. The rotary hammer includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing, a spindle coupled to the motor for receiving torque from the motor, causing the spindle to rotate, a reciprocation mechanism operable to create a variable pressure air spring within the spindle, an anvil received within the spindle for reciprocation in response to the pressure of the air spring, the anvil imparting axial impacts to the tool bit, a bit retention assembly for securing the tool bit to the spindle, and an electromagnetic clutch mechanism switchable between a first state, in which the reciprocation mechanism is enabled, such that the anvil imparts axial impacts to the tool bit, and a second state, in which the reciprocation mechanism is disabled, such that the anvil ceases to impart axial impacts to the tool bit.

A control method for a borehole flushing module (2) for a chiseling tool (5), includes the steps: Providing fine-grain particles in a dispenser (31); ascertaining a material (M) at a location processed by the tool (5) with the aid of a material detector (37); and introducing fine-grain particles at the location of the substrate processed by the tool (5) when the material detector (37) ascertains an iron-containing material (M2).
