[Action of impact tool]
Next, operation of the impact tool 1 will be described. For example, when performing a fastening operation on a work target, a socket used for the fastening operation is attached to the front end of the anvil 16 . After the socket is attached to the anvil 16, the operator grips the side handle 7 with the left hand, grips the grip portion 27 with the right hand, and moves the trigger lever 116 with the index and middle fingers of the right hand so that the trigger lever 116 moves backward. to operate. When the trigger lever 116 is operated to move backward, power is supplied from the battery pack 63 to the motor 10 to drive the motor 10 and light the light assembly 18 . Driving the motor 10 rotates the rotor 69 and the rotor shaft 70 . When the rotor shaft 70 rotates, the rotational force of the rotor shaft 70 is transmitted to the planetary gear 89 via the first bevel gear 80 , the second bevel gear 86 and the sun gear 88 . The planetary gear 89 revolves around the sun gear 88 while rotating while meshing with the internal teeth of the internal gear 90 . Planetary gear 89 is rotatably supported by spindle 14 via pin 93 . The revolution of the planetary gear 89 causes the spindle 14 to rotate at a rotational speed lower than that of the rotor shaft 70 .

As spindle 14 rotates while hammer projection 106 and anvil projection 114 are in contact, anvil 16 rotates with hammer 98 and spindle 14 . Fastening work progresses by rotating the anvil 16 .

As the fastening work progresses, when a load exceeding a predetermined value acts on the anvil 16, the anvil 16 and the hammer 98 stop rotating. When the spindle 14 rotates while the rotation of the hammer 98 is stopped, the hammer 98 moves backward. By moving the hammer 98 rearward, the contact between the hammer protrusion 106 and the anvil protrusion 114 is released. The hammer 98 that has moved backward moves forward while rotating due to the elastic force of the first coil spring 100 and the second coil spring 101 . As the hammer 98 rotates and moves forward, the anvil 16 is struck by the hammer 98 in the rotational direction. As a result, the anvil 16 rotates around the output rotation axis BX with high torque. Therefore, the bolts or nuts are tightened with high torque.

When a high load acts on anvil shaft portion 113 during fastening work, at least a portion of anvil shaft portion 113 may break. In the embodiment, the anvil shaft portion 113 is provided with a breakage starting portion 134 . Therefore, when a high load acts on anvil shaft portion 113 , anvil shaft portion 113 breaks at breakage starting point 134 as described with reference to FIG. 13 . When the anvil shaft portion 113 is broken at the breakage starting point 134 and the anvil shaft portion 113 ahead of the breakage starting point 134 moves forward with respect to the hammer case 6, the first rear side surface 127 of the first groove portion 121 It is caught by the suppressing member 123 . Therefore, the anvil shaft portion 113 ahead of the breakage starting portion 134 is prevented from coming off the impact tool 1 .

Vibration of the hammer case 6 generated during the fastening work is damped by the anti-vibration mechanism 137 . As a result, transmission of vibration of the hammer case 6 to the grip housing 3 via the body housing 2 is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the workability of the fastening work from deteriorating and the operator who grips the grip housing 3 from feeling uncomfortable. Vibration of the controller 11 housed in the controller housing portion 28 of the grip housing 3 is suppressed. Therefore, the occurrence of malfunction of the controller 11 is suppressed.
