Description
Impact tool Technical Field The present invention relates to an impact tool. Background The impact tool performs a machining operation on a workpiece by impacting the tip tool and driving the tip tool in a straight line along a driving axis. The impact tool is capable of selectively mounting a plurality of tip tools suitable for various machining operations. Relatively small-sized impact tools that are easy to use in various machining operations include so-called pistol grips, and those in which a part of a handle and a tool body are formed in a ring shape (refer to japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2019-038093 and japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2022-036600, respectively). Disclosure of Invention In any of the above-described types of impact tools, the shape of the handle is designed so that a user can easily grasp the grip portion and easily press the tip tool toward the workpiece along the drive axis. Further, an operating member for starting the motor provided to the grip portion is configured to be easy to operate when the grip portion is in a posture arranged below the drive axis in the vertical direction. However, in the case of using the impact tool in a different posture from that, there is room for improvement in operability thereof. A non-limiting object of the present invention is to provide an impact tool that can exhibit good operability in various postures. A non-limiting embodiment of the present invention provides an impact tool having a tool holder, a motor, a driving mechanism, a tool body, a handle, and an operating member. The tool holder extends along a drive axis defining a front-rear direction of the impact tool. The tip end portion of the tool holder is configured to detachably hold a tip tool selected from a plurality of tip tools of different types. The motor includes an output shaft rotatable about a 1 st rotational axis. The drive mechanism is operatively connected to the output shaft. In addition, the driving mechanism linearly drives the tip tool held by the tool holder along the driving axis in response to the driving of the motor. The tool body extends along a drive axis. In addition, the tool body houses the tool holder, the motor, and the driving mechanism. The handle is connected with the tool body and comprises a holding part. The grip portion extends in the 1 st direction intersecting the drive axis. The operating member is provided on the front surface side of the grip portion and is manually operated by a user to instruct the start of the motor. The grip portion has a 1 st end portion approaching the tool body and a 2 nd end portion distant from the tool body in the 1 st direction. The operating member is configured to include at least a center position of the grip portion that is substantially equidistant from the 1 st end and the 2 nd end, respectively, in the 1 st direction. The handle of the impact tool of this embodiment has a grip portion extending in the 1 st direction intersecting the drive axis. The operation member manually operated to instruct the start of the motor is configured to include a center position in the 1 st direction (i.e., the long axis direction of the grip). Therefore, the user can easily operate the operation member with one or more fingers, both when the user grips the grip portion with the thumb in the direction of the 1 st end side of the grip portion (hereinafter referred to as the forward direction) and when the user grips the grip portion with the thumb in the direction of the 2 nd end side of the grip portion (hereinafter referred to as the reverse direction). In addition, since the impact tool can be used in various postures, the direction of gripping the grip portion does not substantially affect the operability of the operating member, and therefore the impact tool can exhibit excellent operability in various postures.
