Abstract
A rotary tool includes: a main body, and a rotary shaft for transmitting a rotary force; a stirring pin that is arranged on the main body so as to be rotatable by receiving the rotary force and to be movable relative to an axial direction of the rotary shaft, and that is inserted into a joint member to perform friction stirring on the joint member; a shoulder that is formed separately from the stirring pin, that is arranged on the main body so as not to receive the rotary force from the main body but to be movable separately from the stirring pin relative to the axial direction of the rotary shaft, and that presses the joint member while in contact with the joint member; and a first elastic member that biases the stirring pin toward a distal-end side relative to the axial direction of the rotary shaft.
