Abstract: A drilling and chipping tool includes a striker mechanism and a holder (10) for a tool bit. Blows are transmitted to the holder and the tool bit through an axially extending anvil (4) located in the tool. The anvil (4) can be connected to a shifting member (7) by a locking element (6). The shifting element (7) is axially displaceable by an actuation member (8). The axial displacement of the shifting member (7) moves the anvil (4) between a first position for transmitting blows and a second position for blocking the transmission of blows from the anvil (4) to the holder (10).

Abstract: A drilling and chipping tool (1) has a holder (3) detachably connectable on a neck (2) on the tool (1) and the holder (3) includes a cap (4) arranged to fit over the neck (2). The tool (1) has a long direction and the cap (4) has teeth (5, 5a) on an interior surface detachably engageable with teeth (2a) on an exterior surface of the neck (2). A part (5a) of the interior teeth (5, 5a) on the cap (4) is offsettable relative to the remaining teeth (5) on the cap (4) and is engageable into at least one recess (2b) in the region of the teeth (2a) on the neck, whereby a tolerance free connection is established between the holder (3) and the neck (2) of the tool (1). The holder (3) can be attached and detached from the neck (2) without the use of any other tools.
