Abstract: An electric tool to restrain stress concentration is provided. The electric tool includes a housing (7, 8), a motor (2), an anvil (5, 105), and an impact mechanism (4). The motor is accommodated in the housing and rotatable. The anvil supported by the housing and rotatable about an axis (A). The impact mechanism is configured to convert a rotational force generated by the motor into a rotational impact force about the axis, and to apply the rotational impact force to the anvil. The anvil includes a base portion (51), an end bit attachment portion (80, 180), and a connecting portion (90, 190). The base portion is rotatably supported by the housing. An end bit is attachable to the end bit attachment portion. The end bit attachment portion has a flat surface portion. The connecting portion integrally connects together the base portion and the end bit attachment portion. The connecting portion has a diameter gradually reduced in a direction from the base portion toward the end bit attachment portion.

Abstract: Provided is an electric device capable of suppressing vibration of a battery pack. Included are: a first housing 21 accommodating a load portion that consumes electric power; a second housing 22 having one end portion connected to the first housing 21 and another end portion to which a battery pack 9 is connectable; and an elastic member 40 interposed between the first housing and the second housing. The first housing includes a first restricting portion 42 positioned away from the elastic member, and the second housing includes a second restricting portion 44 positioned away from the elastic member and engageable with the first restricting portion. In a case where the second housing is urged to be separated from the first housing, the elastic member is deformed and the first restricting portion and the second restricting portion are engaged with each other to prevent separation.

Abstract: An impact tool and method can include: a motor; a trigger; a controller configured to control driving power supplied to the motor using a semiconductor switching element according to an operation of the trigger; a striking mechanism configured to drive a tip tool continuously or intermittently by rotation force of the motor, the striking mechanism including a hammer and an anvil. The controller drives the semiconductor switching element at a high duty ratio when the trigger is manipulated. The motor can be driven so that the duty ratio is lowered before a first striking of the hammer on the anvil is performed and the first striking is performed at a low duty ratio lower than the high duty ratio.
