ABSTRACT

A rotary impact tool includes a motor housing, an electric motor supported in
the motor housing, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque
input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The
drive assembly includes an anvil including an anvil lug and a hammer that is
both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil. The hammer
includes a hammer lug for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon
the anvil lug. The rotary impact tool further comprises a printed circuit
board assembly including a sensor that is configured to detect rotation of the
anvil. The printed circuit board assembly is spaced from the anvil to define
an axial gap therebetween.
