  • Patent number: 8695724
    Abstract: A technique for reducing the costs of manufacturing an auxiliary handle provided separately from a main handle in a hand-held power tool is provided. A hand-held power tool includes a power tool body having a front end region to which a tool bit can be mounted, a main handle that is disposed on a rear end side of the power tool body opposite from the tool bit, an auxiliary-handle mounting member for mounting an auxiliary handle, and longitudinally elastic elements that are disposed between the power tool body and the auxiliary handle mounting member in the axial direction of the tool bit and can elastically deform in the axial direction. The auxiliary-handle mounting member is allowed to move with respect to the power tool body in the axial direction of the tool bit by elastic deformation of the longitudinally elastic elements, so that transmission of vibration from the power tool body to the auxiliary-handle mounting member in the axial direction is reduced.
