A machine tool, comprising:
- a housing configured to receive and mount a drive unit and a tool, the housing having two housing parts that are axially slidably connectable to and releasable from one another in respective connection and release directions;
- and
- a connecting device having at least two connection projections on one housing part that are disposed in line with one another in the connection and release directions, the connection projections engaging connection recesses defined by the other housing part to connect the housing parts in form-locking fashion,
- wherein the connection projections are embodied as connection teeth tapering to a point, and
- wherein at least one tooth-shaped connection projection and at least one portion of the housing part defining the connection recesses have respective first complementary inclinations that (i) facilitate slidable connection of the housing parts in the connection direction and (ii) prevent relative axial movement between the housing parts in the connection direction once the housing parts are connected.
