Abstract

The invention relates to a hand tool machine with a torque limiter (2) enabling a user to set a maximum torque which is transmitted by a motor drive (4) to a tool carrier (6). According to the invention, the hand tool machine comprises an overload clutch which interrupts a power flux between the motor drive (4) and the tool carrier (6) when the transmitted torque exceeds the overload torque.
