Power tool having a hammer mechanism

A power tool, comprising:

• a motor having a motor shaft that rotates around a motor axis;
• a hammer mechanism that includes a cylinder and a hammer element adjacent to an air chamber defined within the cylinder and is configured to convert rotary motion of the motor shaft to linear motion of the hammer element along a prescribed hammer axis by utilizing action of an air spring of the air chamber;
• a housing that houses the motor and the hammer mechanism,
• wherein the motor axis is parallel to the hammer axis and to pass through an inside of the cylinder;
• and
• a main handle that includes (i) a grip part configured to be held by a user, (ii) a first connection part that connects a first end of the grip part to the housing, and (iii) a second connection part that connects a second end of the grip part to the housing, wherein:
• the hammer axis passes through between the first end and the second end of the grip part when the power tool is viewed in a direction orthogonal to the hammer axis,
• the hammer mechanism further includes (i) a second bevel gear that is engaged with a first bevel gear provided on the motor shaft, and (ii) a crank shaft that rotates together with the second bevel gear, and
• an extending direction of the grip part is (i) parallel to a plane orthogonal to a rotational axis of the second bevel gear and (ii) crosses the hammer axis.
