Abstract

To provide a rotary impact tool capable of: suppressing a rise in temperature in a motor or switching elements and a current flowing in the motor or switching elements while suppressing a degradation in tightening performance; and improving operability. The rotary impact tool includes: a motor; an end-bit holding part driven by the motor; an impact mechanism provided on a drive transmission path from the motor to the end-bit holding part and configured to intermittently produce rotary impacts, the rotary impacts transmitting a drive force of the motor to the end-bit holding part; a switching element configured to change a voltage supplied to the motor; and a control unit controlling the switching element. The control unit is configured such that the voltage supplied to the motor begins to gradually rise within a period of time from a timing when a first rotary impact ends to a timing when a second rotary impact subsequent to the first rotary impact starts.
