Abstract
An impact-delivery tool (20) includes a motor-driven gear (72) which supports for continuous rotation therewith a relatively shiftable drive pin (80). The drive pin (80) is selectively shifted to couple the rotary drive of the gear (72) to a reciprocably operable, impact drive bar (76). An interrupt mechanism (78) which detects workpiece engagement by the tool (20) and operator actuation of the tool, both necessary for tool operation, controls the coupling and decoupling of the drive pin (80) relative to the drive bar (76). The interrupt mechanism (78) provides selective processing of the tool (20) through an impact delivery power stroke and a return stroke while also precluding successive power strokes.
