Abstract

A rotary impact tool includes: a hammer rotating by receiving a rotational force of a motor; an anvil rotating by receiving a rotational force of the hammer; and an end tool attached to the anvil, the rotary impact tool being constructed such that when a torque of a value not less than a predetermined value is applied to the anvil from the outside, the hammer is disengaged from the anvil to rotate idle and applies an impact to the anvil in a rotational direction after rotating idle by a predetermined angle, the rotary impact tool including an impact detector configured to detect impacts and a speed switching device configured to switch the rotational speed of the motor, and when the impact detector detects an impact during rotation of the anvil in a tightening direction, the speed switching device switches the rotational speed of the motor from a normal speed to a low speed.
