Power tool having a hammer mechanism

A method of manufacturing a power tool having a hammer mechanism, the power tool including:

• a tool body that houses a motor and a driving mechanism configured to drive a tool accessory along a driving axis that defines a front-rear direction of the power tool, and extends in the front-rear direction;
• a handle including a grip part that extends in an up-down direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction behind the tool body, the handle having a first part and a second part that are connected together in a left-right direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction;
• and a first spring and a second spring that are configured to bias the tool body and the handle in directions away from each other in the front-rear direction,
• the method comprising:
• a first step of holding a rear part of the tool body between the first part and the second part and connecting the first part and the second part, and
• a second step of elastically connecting the tool body and the handle after the first step by assembling the first spring between the tool body and the first part while compressing the first spring and assembling the second spring between the tool body and the second part while compressing the second spring-,
• the method further comprising:
• connecting a first end of the first spring to the tool body via a first spring holder that has a first locking part,
• directly connecting a second end of the first spring to the first part, and configuring a second locking part of the tool body to be locked to the first locking part of the first spring holder.

A power tool having a hammer mechanism and configured to linearly drive a tool accessory, comprising:

• a motor;
• a driving mechanism that is configured to drive the tool accessory along a driving axis that defines a front-rear direction of the power tool, by power of the motor;
• a tool body that houses the motor and the driving mechanism and extends in the front-rear direction;
• a handle including a grip part that extends in an up-down direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction behind the tool body, the handle having a first part and second part that are connected together in a left-right direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction;
• a first spring that is arranged between the tool body and the first part and configured to bias the tool body and the handle in directions away from each other in the front-rear direction;
• a second spring that is arranged between the tool body and the second part and configured to bias the tool body and the handle in directions away from each other in the front-rear direction;
• and
• a first spring holder configured to hold the first spring and to be connected to one of the tool body and the first part,
• wherein:
• each of the first and second springs has a first end a second end,
• the first end of the first spring is connected to the one of the tool body and the first part via the first spring holder, and the second end of the first spring is directly connected to the other of the tool body and the first part, and
• an outer surface of the first spring holder is continuous to an outer surface of one of the tool body and the handle.
