Abstract

It is an object of the invention to provide a technique for enhancing the operability of a power tool.A representative screwdriver 100 is provided which has a motor 110 and a driving mechanism 120. The driving mechanism 120 has a rotation transmitting mechanism including a driving cam 137 and a driven cam 157, and a cam engagement state is switched by movement of the spindle 150 in a longitudinal direction of the spindle. The position of the spindle 150 in the longitudinal direction is detected by a detecting mechanism 162 that is disposed on the opposite side of the rotation transmitting mechanism from a front end region in the longitudinal direction of the spindle 150. A controller 180 controls the rotation speed of the motor 110 based on the detection result of the detecting mechanism 162 and drives the motor 110.
