Abstract
An improved hand-held power tool is provided which can effectively reduce whirling vibration caused by imbalance of a rotating element. The power tool has a grip that is connected to a tool body and designed to be held by a user and a self-synchronous mechanism that reduces whirling vibration caused in the tool body or the grip when the tool bit is driven. The self-synchronous mechanism is of a phase variable type, having a rotating body which serves as a vibrator and is rotationally driven by a driving source different from a driving source for the tool bit. The self-synchronous mechanism is disposed in the tool body or the grip in which whirling vibration is caused, and arranged such that a phase of vibration of the rotating body is automatically tuned to a phase of the whirling vibration, thereby reducing the whirling vibration.
