Abstract
A hand-held power tool has a housing, in which a drive motor and a gear box for driving a tool holder are arranged. The tool holder is provided with a receiving sleeve, and with a locking unit for locking and unlocking an insert tool which can be disposed in the receiving sleeve. The locking unit is associated with at least one locking element pressed by a spring element. The receiving sleeve includes a spring holder for receiving the spring element. The spring holder is disposed at least approximately parallel to an axis of rotation of the tool holder.
