Abstract
A power tool includes an output shaft for outputting torque, a transmission mechanism for driving the output shaft, a motor for driving the transmission mechanism, and a housing for containing the motor. The transmission mechanism includes a ring gear being capable of rotating relative to the housing, locking pins for limiting the rotation of the ring gear, a locking ring for limiting the locking pins to rotate with the ring gear, and biasing elements for biasing the locking pins so as to move toward the locking ring. The ring gear is formed with apertures going through the ring gear in an axial direction of the output shaft and the locking pins pass through the ring gear through the apertures and contact with the locking ring. The locking ring is formed with locking protuberances for contacting and engaging with the locking pins.
