An electric tool includes a motor, a first intermediate member configured to be displaced when a first accessory is attached to a first attachment portion, a second intermediate member configured to be displaced when a second accessory is attached to a second attachment portion, and a first interlock member. The first interlock member mechanically moves in conjunction with the respective displacements of the first intermediate member and the second intermediate member. The first interlock member is displaced in the same direction between when the first accessory is attached and when the second accessory is attached, and is cumulatively displaced when the first accessory and the second accessory are attached. The electric tool is configured in such a manner that power supply to the motor is permitted only in a state that the first interlock member is cumulatively displaced.

Electric tool

An electric power tool. The electric power tool may include: a motor; a control device configured to control the motor; a power transmission mechanism connected to the motor; a housing that houses the motor, the control device and the power transmission mechanism; an end tool holder connected to the power transmission mechanism; an accessory configured to be detachably attached to the housing; and a detector configured to detect whether the accessory is attached or not. The detector may include: a link member configured to move with respect to the housing according to the accessory being attached or detached; a magnet fixed in position with respect to one of the link member and the housing; and a magnetic sensor fixed in position with respect to another of the link member and the housing.

Electric power tool

A power tool includes a motor configured to provide driving force to a tool accessory, a braking mechanism disposed on a driving-force-transmission path from the motor to the tool accessory and configured to put a brake on driving of the tool accessory, at least one attachment portion configured such that an accessory is removably attachable thereto, and a restricting member configured to be directly or indirectly pressed and displaced by the accessory when the accessory is attached to any one of the at least one attachment portion. In a state in which the accessory is not attached to any of the at least one attachment portion, the restricting member is located at a preventive position at which between-members abutment prohibits releasing of a braked state effected by the braking mechanism.

Power tool

The disclosure discloses an electric power tool. The electric power tool may include a motor, a power transmission mechanism connected to the motor, a housing that houses the motor and the power transmission mechanism, an end tool holder to which an end tool is configured to be attached and from which the end tool is configured to be detached, and connected to the power transmission mechanism, and a handle attached to the housing. The electric power tool may be configured to prohibit rotation of the motor when a user is not gripping the handle.
