Abstract

It is an object of the invention to provide an improved technique for lessening an impact force caused by rebound of a tool bit after the striking movement of the tool bit. Representative impact power tool (101) includes a tool body (103), a hammer actuating member (119, 145), a driving mechanism (113, 115), a weight (163) and an elastic element (165). A reaction force that the hammer actuating member receives from the workpiece when performing a hammering operation is transmitted from the hammer actuating member to the weight (163) and then, the weight (163) is caused to move rearward to push the elastic element (165). As a result, the reaction force can be absorbed by the elastic element (165). The elastic force of the elastic element (165) is prevented from acting upon the weight (163) forward beyond the reaction force transmitting position.
