A power tool includes a case, a motor, a plurality of Hall effect sensors, a first circuit board, and a second circuit board. The Hall effect sensors detect a position of a rotor of the motor and correspondingly generate position signals. A plurality of commutating switches and a first controller are disposed on the first circuit board.
