  • Patent number: 9731411
    Abstract: A hydraulic tool having a body, a frame in which a stationary tool for machining a workpiece and a movable tool are disposed, a cylindrical piston, and a rapid-advance piston connected to the body, wherein the rapid-advance piston has a barrel part being in contact with the piston, a connection part disposed at the rear end of the barrel part and connected to the body, a screw part formed in the connection part, and a D-cut face formed on the barrel part. A fixation member disposed in the body so as to be positioned in the vicinity of the D-cut face is also provided. The D-cut face is formed along a direction orthogonal to a line that connects the center point of the barrel part to the center point of the fixation member, and the rapid-advance piston is prevented from rotating by the fixation member.
