Abstract
A tool includes a switch. The switch is configured to cause an electric component to operate. The switch includes a switch manipulation part, a load sensor and a load adjusting mechanism. The switch manipulation part is configured to manipulate the switch. The load sensor is configured to detect a load corresponding to a pressing force according to a manipulation of the switch manipulation part. The load adjusting mechanism is configured to move the load sensor relative to the switch manipulation part along a direction where the switch manipulation part and the load sensor are separated from each other, according to a magnitude of the pressing force applied to the load sensor.
