  • Patent number: 12654288
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic tool with a handle (26), valve (22), a safety switch lever (18) arranged on the handle (26) for actuating the valve (22) and a pressure medium connection (16), wherein the valve (22) comprises a valve body (28) movable between a home position and at least one further position, wherein a connection between the pressure medium connection (16) and a pressure cylinder (12) of the tool is interrupted in the home position and the connection between the pressure medium connection (16) and the pressure cylinder (12) of the tool is established in the further position. It is proposed that the pressure cylinder (12) is vented with the displacement of the valve body (28) to the home position and a pressure applied to the pressure medium connection (16) displaces the valve body (28) toward the home position when the safety switch lever (18) is released.
