Impact Mechanism for an Impact Wrench

An impact mechanism (12) for an impact wrench (1), said impact mechanism (12) comprising:

• an anvil (8) rotatable about a rotation axis (R) and provided with a middle portion (13), at least one abutment portion (14) radially protruding therefrom, which forms at least one abutment surface (15),
• a hammer (4) rotatable about the rotation axis (R) and provided with at least one impact surface (16), wherein the hammer (4) is suitable to give rotational pulses to the anvil (8) by the impact surface (16) hitting the abutment surface (15), wherein the anvil (8) comprises a first connection area (17) connecting the abutment portion (14) to the middle portion (13), said first connection area (17) at least partially extending within the axial extension of the abutment surface (15) and the middle portion (13),
• wherein the anvil (8) comprises a reinforcement rib (18) being axially arranged out of the abutment surfaces (15), which connects the abutment portion (14) to the middle portion (13) of the anvil (8), thereby forming a second connection area.
