Abstract:
An electric power tool includes a cylindrical reducer case accommodating the speed reduction mechanism. The speed reduction mechanism includes a planetary gear train and a movable member which is axially slidable to be engaged with or disengaged from the planetary gear train. The electric power tool includes the reducer case including a slide hole formed through a sidewall of the reducer case and axially extended and a rotary plate which is rotatable around a periphery of the reducer case about the axis, the rotary plate including an operation slot formed axially obliquely and overlapped with the slide hole; a supporting member radially outwardly protruded from the movable member and extended through the slide hole and the operation slot; and a biasing unit for applying a pressing force to the supporting member in a moving direction of the supporting member when the rotary plate is rotated to a position.

Abstract:
An electric power tool includes a motor; a speed reducer for transferring a rotational power of the motor at a reduced speed; and a reduction ratio changing unit for changing a reduction ratio of the speed reducer. The speed reduction mechanism includes an axially slidable changeover member and a gear member, the changeover member being engaged with or disengaged from the gear member depending on an axial slide position thereof. The reduction ratio changing unit includes a shift actuator for axially sliding the changeover member, a driving state detector for detecting a driving state of the motor, a slide position detector for detecting a slide position of the changeover member and a controller for driving the shift actuator and for changing a drive control of the shift actuator depending on detection results of the slide position detector unit and the driving state detector unit, respectively.

Abstract:
A power tool includes a power tool and a battery pack detachably attached to the power tool, the battery pack having two engaging portions to be mechanically coupled to the power tool and the power tool having engaged portions respectively corresponding to two engaging portions of the battery pack respectively. Each of engaging portions of the battery pack includes an insertion restricting portion and an attachment securing portion for allowing its corresponding engaged portion to be inserted only in a direction of pressing the attaching portion of the battery pack against the attached portion of the power tool, each of the attachment securing portions being coupled to its corresponding engaged portion. At least one of said at least two engaging portions further has a hook engaging portion which is selectively secured with an engaged portion moved from its corresponding insertion restricting portion to its corresponding attachment securing portion.
