Abstract
An impact tool includes a housing, a motor supported within the housing, an anvil extending from the housing, the anvil including a body rotatable about a longitudinal axis, a drive end portion configured to receive a tool element over a distal end thereof, and a blind bore extending partially through the drive end portion of the anvil in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. The impact tool also includes a retainer configured to at least partially surround the tool element, the retainer having a post configured to extend through the tool element and into the blind bore to inhibit removal of the tool element from the distal end of the anvil, and a drive assembly configured to convert a continuous rotational input from the motor to intermittent applications of torque to the anvil.
