Abstract
A hammer holder, provided between a retainer sleeve and a cylinder, slidably holds an intermediate member in an axial direction. A predetermined clearance is maintained between the hammer holder and the retainer sleeve. The hammer holder has a recessed portion which is engageable with a flange of the intermediate member so as to restrict the slide movement of the intermediate member. A cushioning member receives a percussion force when the flange is stopped by the recessed portion. The clearance restricts a compression amount of the cushioning member so that a predetermined life of the cushioning member is assured.
