Abstract: In order to provide an electric tool with good operability that can extend the life of and suppress breakage of a switching element for controlling energization of a brushless motor, a control unit (50), after an operation switch (5) is turned off, does not immediately turn off an inverter circuit (43) (does not set the duty of a PWM signal to 0), and instead normally operates the inverter circuit (43) with a low-duty PWM signal and waits until a rotation speed of a brushless motor (6) reaches a predetermined rotation speed or less to turn off the inverter circuit (43) (to set the duty of the PWM signal to 0).

Abstract: A powered working machine (10) with which the transmission of vibrations from a housing to a control substrate can be suppressed, operates a distal tool using power from a brushless motor (30), is configured to have: a control substrate (71) that controls the brushless motor (30); a substrate case (82) that accommodates the control substrate (71); a motor housing (20) and cover (160) that support the substrate case (82); an elastic body (152) that is disposed between the substrate case (82) and the motor housing (20); and an elastic body (153) that is disposed between the substrate case (82) and the cover (160).

Abstract: Provided is an electric work machine that can suppress a temperature increase of a component controlling an electric motor. The electric work machine including a brushless motor that operates a tip tool includes a rectification circuit that converts a voltage to be applied to the brushless motor from an alternating current voltage to a direct current voltage, and a switching circuit that controls the brushless motor, and the rectification circuit is arranged upstream of the switching circuit in a circulation path of the air that cools the rectification circuit and the switching circuit.

Abstract: Provided is an impact type electric tool. A striking mechanism is used, which uses a hammer having striking claws that are equally arranged in the rotational direction and an anvil having struck claws. A relationship between a striking energy E, which the hammer has right before striking the anvil, and a disengaging torque TB, which is applied between the hammer and the anvil right before the hammer is disengaged from the anvil, is set as 5.3×TB<E<9.3×TB in the case of three claws and set as 9.3×TB<E<15.0×TB in the case of two claws, so as to perform striking by skipping one of the claws of the hammer and the anvil when a high torque is required. Accordingly, the electric tool achieves output of a high torque while maintaining a favorable operational feeling during striking.
