Impact tool

An impact tool comprising:

• a housing including a motor housing portion and an impact housing portion, the impact housing portion having a front end defining a front-end plane;
• an electric motor supported in the motor housing and defining a motor axis;
• a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor;
• a drive assembly supported by the impact housing portion, the drive assembly configured to convert a continuous rotational input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece, the drive assembly including
• an anvil,
• a hammer that is both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil, and
• a spring for biasing the hammer in an axial direction toward the anvil;
• and
• an auxiliary handle assembly including a collar arranged on the impact housing portion and a handle coupled to the collar, the collar defining a handle plane that extends centrally through the collar, orthogonal to the motor axis, and that is parallel with the front-end plane,
• wherein a distance between the front-end plane and the handle plane is greater than or equal to 6 inches.

An impact tool comprising:

• a housing including a motor housing portion, an impact housing portion having a front end defining a front-end plane, and a handle portion having a rear surface defining a rear end of the impact tool and defining a rear-end plane;
• an electric motor supported in the motor housing and defining a motor axis;
• a battery pack supported by the housing for providing power to the motor;
• and
• a drive assembly supported by the impact housing portion, the drive assembly configured to convert a continuous rotational input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece, the drive assembly including
• an anvil having an end defining an anvil end plane,
• a hammer that is both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil, and
• a spring for biasing the hammer in an axial direction toward the anvil,
• wherein a distance between the rear-end plane and the anvil end plane is less than or equal to 19.5 inches.
