Publication number: 20240100729Abstract: The disclosure provides a handheld power tool, which at least includes a housing assembly, a handle assembly and a switch assembly. The switch assembly includes a button assembly and a push-pull assembly. When the push-pull assembly is configured to complete at least two actions, the button assembly is unlocked, the first action is to slide back and forth along the handle assembly, and the second action is to slide back and forth obliquely along the handle assembly. With the handheld power tool of the disclosure, a trigger switch can be unlocked by a palm, so as to improve a problem of poor comfort during use caused by unlocking the trigger switch by a thumb.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Greenworks (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dong ZHAO, Duoduo SHA, Lingao ZHANG, Stefan LA, Andreas CARLSSON, Ola AGNE, Thomas ARNELL, Goran VUCIC
