Impact tool

An impact tool comprising:

• a spindle extending in an axial direction thereof;
• a motor configured to provide the spindle with a rotational power in accordance with a motor current flowing therethrough, the rotational power rotating the spindle about the axis at an rpm value;
• a rotational impact system configured to provide the spindle with an impact force in the axial direction, thereby transmitting both the rotational power and the impact force to an end bit;
• a current detecting unit configured to detect a current value of the motor current;
• and
• a current control unit configured to reduce the current value if the current value detected by the current detecting unit exceeds a predetermined value;
• wherein the current control unit reduces the current value during a first time period including a timing at which the rotational impact system provides the spindle with the impact force if the current value detected by the current detecting unit exceeds the predetermined value.
