Abstract
A power tool including a housing, a brushless direct current (DC) motor, an impact mechanism including a hammer and an anvil, an output drive device, a position sensor, and a controller. The position sensor is adjacent to a relief feature, which may be a recessed relief feature or a raised relief feature, and is configured to generate an output signal indicative of a position of the anvil. The controller is configured to calculate a drive angle based on the determined position of the anvil, and control the brushless DC motor based on the drive angle of the anvil.
