Abstract

A shock-absorbing element is disposed frontward of an interjacent element within a housing of an impact tool, and a washer is disposed rearward of and adjacent to the shock-absorbing element. The interjacent element is configured to come in contact with the washer when the interjacent element is caused to advance by an impactor's strike under no-load conditions. A sleeve disposed rearward of and adjacent to the washer is configured to position the shock-absorbing element and the washer, and to allow the interjacent element to move rearward and frontward inside the sleeve.
