IMPACT TOOL

A technique for improving the vibration-proof effect and usability of a handle is provided in an impact tool. An impact tool is provided which linearly drives a tool bit 119 in an axial direction thereof to cause the tool bit 119 to perform a predetermined hammering operation. The impact tool includes a motor 111, a striking mechanism part 113, 115 that is driven by the motor 111 and causes the tool bit 119 to linearly move, a tool body 103 that houses the motor 111 and the striking mechanism part 113, 115, an outer shell housing 102 that covers at least part of the tool body 103 and is connected to the tool body 103 via a vibration-proofing first elastic element 153, 155, 157, 159 so as to be movable in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the tool bit 119 with respect to the tool body 103, and a handle 109 which is designed to be held by a user and connected to an opposite side of the outer shell housing 102 from the tool bit 119 via a vibration-proofing second elastic element 123 so as to be movable in the axial direction of the tool bit 119 with respect to the outer shell housing 102.
