Abstract
A tool, in particular a power screw driver, comprises an output shaft which is rotatably mounted in a housing and is driven by a motor. The output shaft extends substantially coaxially to a longitudinal axis of the housing. In order to improve a tool of the type described in such a manner that the tool can be held comfortably, in controlled manner and with little force, a grip sleeve which is rotatable relative to the housing is fitted over the housing, and at least one damping device that counteracts a pulse-like rotation of the grip sleeve relative to the housing is disposed between the housing and the grip sleeve.
