Abstract
A hammer drill includes a spindle supported by a housing and movable in an axial direction relative to the housing within a predetermined range, a motor for rotating the spindle, a rotary cam member fixedly mounted on the spindle, a clutch cam member which supports a weight member is axially movably mounted on the spindle, and a biasing member for normally biasing the clutch cam member and weight member toward the rotary cam member in the axial direction of the spindle. A first cam and a second cam are provided on the rotary cam member and the clutch cam member, respectively, facing each other in the axial direction of the spindle. The first cam and the second cam cause the clutch cam and weight member to repeatedly move toward and away from the rotary cam member as the spindle is rotated causing the spindle to vibrate in the axial direction. The ratio: ##EQU1## determines the intensity of vibrations transmitted to the hands of an operator.
