The invention concerns a hydraulic striking tool for application in rock and/or concrete cutting equipment containing a machine housing (100;200) with a cylinder (115;215) with a moveably mounted piston (145;245) which during operation performs a repetitive forward and backward movement relative to the machine housing (100;200) and directly or indirectly strike a rock and/or concrete cutting tool (155;255), and where the piston (145;245) includes a driving part (165;265) which separates a first (120;220) and a second (105;221) driving chamber formed between the piston (145;245) and the machine housing (100;200) and where these driving chambers are arranged to include a pressurized working fluid during operation. The total volume V of the first and second driving chambers is inversely proportional dimensioned to the square of a for the striking tool recommended maximal pressure p, as well as proportional, by a proportionality constant k within the interval 5.3-21.0, to the product of the pistons energy E during the strike against the tool and compression module β of the working fluid.

Disclosed is a fluid driven pulsating, hammering tool operational when pressurized fluid is pumped into the tool's upper sub, having a poppet valve which can seal the upper end of a slidable outer valve assembly when closed; an inner valve assembly slidable within the outer valve assembly; wherein the inner and outer valve assemblies remain in selective fluid communication with the poppet valve even when the poppet valve is closed, wherein interruption of said fluid communication occurs from movement of the inner and/or outer valve assemblies to particular positions along their sliding paths; and further including a lower valve which is preferably a Tesla valve having channels which are also in fluid communication with the poppet valve.

An impact tool includes a housing having a handle portion defining a first axis, a motor supported by the housing and defining a motor axis, and a rotary impact mechanism arranged on a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. The rotary impact mechanism is configured to convert a continuous rotational input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The rotary impact mechanism includes a chamber containing a hydraulic fluid, an anvil positioned at least partially within the chamber, and a hammer for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil. The hydraulic fluid is configured to attenuate a noise of the rotary impact mechanism that is created by the hammer impacting the anvil. The impact tool further includes a gear train that receives torque from the motor and includes a rotational input that transfers torque to the rotary impact mechanism.

A power tool including an impact tool, a body and an actuator. The actuator is operable to move the body along an operational axis from an impact position, at which the body is operable to transfer impact energy to a head end of the impact tool, to a retracted position spaced apart from the impact position along the operational axis.
