An air tool comprising a barrel; a main body portion from which the barrel extends; a sleeve secured to an exterior of the barrel, the sleeve connected to the barrel by a retaining ring wherein the sleeve provides for a gripping location by an operator and wherein the retaining ring facilitates rotation of the sleeve relative to the barrel when the tool is operation.

An inertial rotational tightening device includes: a rotationally drivable main body, an annular engagement section being disposed on a circumference of the main body; an inertial member having an engagement hole axially formed through the inertial member, the engagement hole of the inertial member being detachably engaged with the engagement section of the main body, a retaining groove being formed on a circumference of the engagement section or a hole wall of the engagement hole, an insertion groove being formed on the hole wall of the engagement hole or the circumference of the engagement section; and an elastic retainer member inlaid and buckled in the retaining groove and the insertion groove. The inertial member is detachably connected with the main body. Different inertial members with different mass can be selectively mounted on the main body to change the moment of inertia and the rotational torque of the rotational tightening device.

A torque connector includes a first body provided with a pivot seat, at least one first receiving recess, and at least one second receiving recess, a second body provided with a pivot slot, a plurality of locking portions, and a plurality of projections, at least one drive member received in the at least one first receiving recess, and at least one elastic member received in the at least one second receiving recess and resting on the at least one drive member. When one of the locking portions aligns with the at least one first receiving recess, the at least one drive member is pushed by the at least one elastic member and locked in one of the locking portions, such that the second body drives and rotates the at least one drive member and the first body.

An electric power tool includes: a driving shaft that is rotated by a motor; an output shaft on which a front-end tool is attachable; and a torque transmission mechanism that transmits a torque produced by the rotation of the driving shaft to the output shaft. The torque transmission mechanism includes a magnet coupling including a driving magnet member coupled to a side of the driving shaft and a driven magnet member coupled to a side of the output shaft, and the driving magnet member and the driven magnet member are provided such that respective magnetic surfaces face each other, S-poles and N-poles being alternately arranged on each of the magnetic surfaces.

The present invention relates to torque application tools, such as a torque screwdriver and ratchet tools, with one or more light indicators disposed in a ring shape around the tool. The light indicators are adapted to indicate amounts of torque values and/or angle values as the tool is used to tighten or install a work piece. For example, the light indicators may flash at a first flashing rate, when about 40% of a target torque or angle value is applied; flash at a second flashing rate (greater or faster than the first flashing rate) when about 60% of the target torque or angle value is applied; and illuminate at a solid state when about 80% of the target torque or angle value is applied.

An impact tool includes a brushless motor having a rotor extending in a front-rear direction and disposed in a motor housing constituted by left, right and rear motor housings. A battery pack is disposed below the motor housing in an up-down direction. A plurality of first screws extend in a left-right direction and fix the left motor housing to the right motor housing. A plurality of second screws extend in the front-rear direction and fix the rear motor housing to the left and right motor housings. A fan is disposed between the rotor and the rear motor housing, a grip housing is disposed downward of the motor housing, and a planetary gear mechanism is disposed frontward of the motor. A spindle is disposed frontward of the planetary gear mechanism, a hammer is disposed on an outer circumference of the spindle, and an anvil is disposed frontward of the hammer.

A rotary impact tool according to one aspect of the present invention includes a motor, an impact mechanism, a drive unit, an impact detection unit, and a control unit. The control unit reduces a driving force for the motor caused by the drive unit when a count of impacts detected by the impact detection unit has reached a determination count set in advance, which is a value greater than one.

An electric power tool includes an electrical motor adapted to drive a rotating shaft. The electric motor is adapted to be fed with a pulsed current where the pulsed current includes a main current pulse (A) in a first direction driving the rotating shaft in a first direction and adapted to provide a current (C) in an opposite direction following the main current pulse to retract the electrical power tool. The pulsed current prior to the current (C) in the opposite direction includes a first pre-pulse current pulse (B) in the same direction as the current in the opposite direction and of a magnitude lower than the current (C). The pulsed current prior to the main pulse includes a second pre-pulse current pulse (D) which is in the same direction as the main current pulse and of a magnitude lower than the main current pulse.

A one-way inertial rotational device includes: a rotary seat; an inertial member pivotally rotatably disposed on the circumference of the rotary seat via a pivot hole, a circumference of the rotary seat and a hole wall of the pivot hole of the inertial member being defined as a first circumferential face and a second circumferential face; and a one-way transmission mechanism having at least one one-way transmission tooth, at least one elastic member and multiple engagement teeth. The engagement teeth are annularly disposed on the second circumferential face. The transmission tooth is displaceably disposed on the first circumferential face. The elastic member keeps the transmission tooth engaged with the engagement teeth. Each engagement tooth has a tooth crest and a tooth height. The width of the tooth crest is larger than the tooth height so that the loss of the rotational energy is reduced to achieve greater rotational torque.
