Abstract: An electric power tool to tighten a screw while drilling a hole with the screw in a tightening-target-object includes a motor as a drive source. A motor control unit controls the motor such that the rotation number of the motor is a rotation number according to specifics of an operation input received by an operation receiving unit with a preset maximum rotation number as an upper limit. At a start-up of the motor, the maximum rotation number is set to a first maximum rotation number. When it is detected that a hole has been drilled in the tightening-target-object with the screw after the start-up of the motor, the maximum rotation number is set to a second maximum rotation number lower than the first maximum rotation number. The second maximum rotation number is set according to a material thickness so as to become lower as the material thickness is smaller.

Abstract: A rotary impact tool according to one aspect of the present invention includes a motor, an impact mechanism, a drive unit, an impact detection unit, and a control unit. The control unit reduces a driving force for the motor caused by the drive unit when a count of impacts detected by the impact detection unit has reached a determination count set in advance, which is a value greater than one.

Abstract: A power tool of one aspect for tightening a screw to a tightening-target-object is provided with a motor as a drive force. A motor controlling device controls the motor so as to make rotational frequency of the motor in accordance with an input operation received by an input-operation receiving unit. A first setting unit sets a maximum rotational frequency to a given first maximum rotational frequency when the motor is initiated. If the power tool clears a given condition for increasing rotational frequency after the motor is initiated, a second setting unit sets the maximum rotational frequency to a given second maximum rotational frequency that is larger than the first maximum rotational frequency.

Abstract: To ensure that a hammer can retract by a sufficient amount without interfering with a washer receiving a rear end of a coil spring, there is disclosed an impact driver having a washer receiving a rear end of a coil spring biasing a hammer of an impact mechanism to an advanced position. The washer is annular with an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of an annular groove disposed on a rear surface of the hammer, and includes a frontward extended portion disposed at an inner circumference of the washer. Between a carrier portion of the spindle and the washer, there is disposed a positioner that positions the washer coaxially with the spindle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rechargeable electric tool in which a battery pack detachably mounted to a mounting part, which is formed lower than an opening provided at a housing, wherein a seal member is held in the housing to seal between the opening and the battery pack mounted to the mounting part. A projection projecting toward the opening side is provided at the seal member, and a passing hole that penetrates the projection and the seal member and allows a lead line connecting an electric component accommodated on the opening side in the housing to the battery pack to pass therethrough is formed.

Abstract: An impact driver or impact tool includes a motor, a motor housing that houses the motor, a grip housing integrally provided with the motor housing, a hammer case is disposed frontward of the motor housing, a spindle rotated by the motor, a hammer housed inside the hammer case and configured to be rotated by the spindle, and an anvil housed inside the hammer case which anvil is configured to be impacted by the hammer. In this impact driver, a length from a rear end of the motor housing to a front end of the anvil (i.e., the front-rear length of a main body) is less than 128 mm.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rechargeable electric tool in which a battery pack as a power supply slides in a battery holder formed in an end part of a housing.
