Striking tool

Abstract

A technique for improving the vibration-proof effect and usability of a handle is provided in an impact tool. An impact tool is provided which linearly drives a tool bit in an axial direction thereof to cause the tool bit to perform a predetermined hammering operation. The impact tool includes a motor, a striking mechanism part, that is driven by the motor and causes the tool bit to linearly move, a tool body that houses the motor and the striking mechanism part, an outer shell housing that covers at least part of the tool body and is connected to the tool body via a vibration-proofing first elastic element so as to be movable in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the tool bit with respect to the tool body, and a handle which is designed to be held by a user and connected to an opposite side of the outer shell housing from the tool bit via a vibration-proofing second elastic element so as to be movable in the axial direction of the tool bit with respect to the outer shell housing.
