RIGHT ANGLE IMPACT TOOL

An impact tool work attachment (14) is configured to receive a handle assembly (12) along a first axis (42). A prime mover (16) is positioned in the handle assembly (12) and has an output shaft (40) rotatable about the first axis (42). The work attachment (14) comprises an output drive, a gear assembly (58) and an impact mechanism (60). The output drive is supported in the work attachment (14) for rotation about an output axis non-parallel to the first axis (42). The gear assembly (58) is positioned within the work attachment (14). The gear assembly (58) has at least one spur gear and is operable to transfer torque from the prime mover (16) about the first axis (42) to the output drive about the output axis. The impact mechanism (60) is positioned within the work attachment (14). The impact mechanism (60) has a hammer (100) and an anvil (110). The hammer (100) is configured to be rotated by the prime mover (16) and is operable to periodically deliver an impact load to the anvil (110). The output drive is rotated about the output axis under the influence of the impact load delivered to the anvil (110).
