Abstract
This invention relates generally to an impact tool. The present invention provides a vibration isolated impact tool wherein an impact mechanism and a motor assembly are arranged into a cartridge assembly. An elastomeric member resiliently connects the cartridge assembly with a housing. The cartridge assembly is free to move axially and rotationally within the housing. The elastomeric member absorbs axial vibration and torsional vibration, reducing the vibration transmitted to an operator.
