The present invention provides an electric tool and aims to restraining surge voltage generated by the actions of a switching element to a lower voltage to the utmost for reducing the overpressure resistant of the switching element and making the capacitance of a capacitor smaller. The electric tool of the present invention has a main body part (12) of a housing, a handle part (15), a switch part (18), batteries, a three-phase bridge type circuit (45) composed of switching elements (44) and a capacitor (43c), the three-phase bridge type circuit (45) is positioned in the main body part (12) of the housing and adjacent to a DC brushless motor (20), the capacitor (43c) is positioned at the position of the switch part (18), and an electric conductor is arranged for electrically connected the capacitor (43c) and the three-phase bridge type circuit (45) by the shortest distance.
