Disclosed herein is a handle for a tool head. The handle includes a handle region having a first end and a second end. The handle region includes a first region adjacent the first end and adapted to receive a user's thumb and index finger, the first region including a trigger for actuating the tool head. The handle region also includes a second region adjacent the first region that is adapted to receive the user's middle finger and a first portion of the user's palm, and a third region adjacent the second region and adapted to receive the user's ring finger and a second portion of the user's palm. The handle region also includes a fourth region disposed between the third region and the second end that is adapted to receive the user's pinky finger and a third portion of the user's palm.

A hand-held impact tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, a tool body, a main handle, a first detection part, a second detection part and a control part. The tool body is configured such that an auxiliary handle is removably attached thereto. The main handle is connected to the tool body. The first detection part is configured to detect selected one of a plurality of modes. The second detection part is configured to detect whether or not the auxiliary handle is attached to the tool body. The control part is configured to control operation of the impact tool based on detection results of the first detection part and the second detection part.

Rotatable handles and related methods are disclosed herein. In one form, the handle has a clip member that fits around a cylindrical object and a handle. The clip member includes a track that guides rotation of the handle about a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object. The handle includes an actuator that operates a braking member which comprises a braking surface that is movable into and out of contact with the track. When the braking surface is out of contact the track, the handle is movable relative to the track when permitting the handle to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object. Rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis of the handle operates the actuator, causing the braking surface to move into and out of contact with the track. Various methods are also disclosed herein with respect to the rotatable handle.

An electric working machine with the same or more prevention or suppression of the transmission of the vibration than that of a related art because of having the less components and the less man-hours for assemblies than those of the related art is achieved. A hammer drill includes a motor serving as a driving source and is equipped with a drill bit driven by a driving force that is output from the motor. The hammer drill includes a main-body housing and a handle housing forming at least a part of an outer shell, and the main-body housing and the handle housing are connected to each other through an elastic body to be relatively movable. The elastic body is formed on the main-body housing and the handle housing by a double-layer molding, and is a part of a continuous resin cover covering surfaces of the main-body housing and the handle housing.

A percussion tool is used for performing a chiseling operation on a workpiece with a chisel. The percussion tool comprises a housing including a cylinder portion, a tool holder coupled to the cylinder portion for holding the chisel, and a percussion mechanism including a striker supported for reciprocation in the cylinder portion. The percussion mechanism is configured to impart repeated axial impacts to the chisel with the striker. The percussion tool further comprises a flange between the cylinder portion and the tool holder. Movement of the chisel within the tool holder toward the percussion mechanism is stopped by the flange.

A power tool, in particular a chipping hammer, containing a first and second side handle and a tool housing having an interface for releasably receiving and holding a first and second rechargeable battery, wherein a side-handle axis extending through the first and second side handles is arranged substantially perpendicularly to a working axis extending through the tool housing. The power tool contains a protective apparatus for protecting the first and second rechargeable batteries, the protective apparatus having an internal volume for at least partially receiving the first and second rechargeable batteries.
