Handheld machine tool having a spindle-locking device

A handheld machine tool, comprising:

• a tool housing, in which a drive motor is situated for driving a drive element equipped with at least one clamping surface, to which a spindle-locking device is assigned that is equipped with a blocking element and at least one spindle cylinder, the at least one spindle cylinder being clampable in the spindle-lock operation of spindle-locking device radially between the at least one clamping surface and the blocking element within a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the machine tool to prevent the drive element from rotating relative to the tool housing;
• and
• a positioning element assigned to the spindle-locking device is situated at least in sections on the at least one clamping surface of the drive element, the positioning element being situated at least partially in the region radially between the at least one spindle cylinder and the at least one clamping surface,
• wherein the positioning element is configured to impinge on the at least one spindle cylinder in a direction of the blocking element,
• wherein the positioning element projects beyond the at least one clamping surface at least in regions in the direction of blocking element, thereby forming a maximal projection on the clamping surface when viewed in a circumferential direction of the drive element,
• wherein the positioning element is situated at least partially in the region radially between the at least one spindle cylinder and the at least one clamping surface within a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the machine tool.
