Abstract
An anvil brake mechanism of an impact mechanism for an impact tool. In general, the impact mechanism is disposed within a housing of the impact tool and includes a gear carrier, a hammer, an anvil, and an anvil brake mechanism. The anvil brake mechanism may restrict the anvil from rotating backwards or oscillating after the hammer impacts the anvil. This may increase the efficiency of the impact from the hammer to the anvil as well as reduce wear on the anvil.
