Abstract

A power tool () includes: a motor () having a stator () and a rotor (); an output part () disposed forward of the motor; a speed-reducing mechanism () having three or more variable-speed stages, which transmits rotational energy from the rotor to the output part; a gear-shifting manipulation part (), which is movable within a movable range that includes three or more speed positions for the respective three or more variable-speed stages of the speed-reducing mechanism; and a position-holding part (A-F), which imparts a position-holding force to the gear-shifting manipulation part at each of the speed positions to hold it at the speed position. The position-holding force at an intermediate speed position (PM), which is located between two end-portion speed positions (PE) at the two ends of the movable range, is larger than the position-holding force at each of the two end-portion speed positions of the movable range.
