ANGLE IMPACT TOOL

An angle impact tool comprising: a motor (16) including an output shaft (40) configured to rotate about a first axis (42);an impact mechanism (60, 660) configured to drive rotation of an output drive (88) about a second axis (86) that is perpendicular to the first axis, the impact mechanism (60, 660) comprising an anvil (110) configured to rotate about the second axis (86) and a hammer (100) configured to rotate about the second axis (86) to periodically deliver an impact load to the anvil (110); anda gear assembly configured to be driven by the output shaft (40) of the motor (16), the gear assembly including:a bevel gear set; anda spur gear set (472, 84) that includes a drive gear (84) configured to drive the hammer (100) of the impact mechanism (60, 660), the spur gear set (472, 84) being coupled to the bevel gear set (62, 66) and being configured to be driven by the bevel gear set (62, 66);characterized in thatthe gear assembly further includes a planetary gear set (520, 522, 524, 526) coupled to the output shaft (40) of the motor (16), the planetary gear set (520, 522, 524, 526) having an axis of rotation perpendicular to the second axis and being configured to be driven by the output shaft (40) of the motor (16);the bevel gear set (62, 66) is coupled to the planetary gear set (520, 522, 524, 526), the bevel gear set (62, 66) being configured to be driven by the planetary gear set (520, 522, 524, 526), wherein the planetary gear set (520, 522, 524, 526) is located between the motor (16) and the bevel gear set (62, 66); andthe angle impact tool further comprises a spring (306, 706) positioned between the hammer (100) and the drive gear (84), the spring (306, 706) biasing the hammer (100) away from the drive gear (84).
