Abstract
The present invention is an articulating hand power tool with a head portion including a head housing, a bit holder rotatably positioned within the head housing, and a bearing member operable to transfer a first axial force from the bit holder to the head housing. A frame is rotatably connected to the head portion for placement in a plurality of positions with respect to the head portion and operably connected to the head housing for receiving the first axial force transferred to the head housing. The tool further includes an articulating gear system for transferring rotational force generated by a motor to the bit holder at each of the plurality of positions.
