Impact rotary tool
View Patent ↗A mode setting unit sets a parameter setting mode or a work mode. A parameter setting unit sets a plurality of parameter values in the parameter setting mode. A torque estimation unit calculates a tightening torque value by using a detection result from an impact detection unit. In a work mode, a control unit stops a rotation of a motor based on the plurality of parameter values set by the parameter setting unit and in accordance with the tightening torque value calculated by the torque estimation unit. In the parameter setting mode, a work information storage unit stores the tightening torque value calculated by the torque estimation unit during a tightening work according to a user operation, and the parameter setting unit sets the plurality of parameter values based on the tightening torque value stored in the work information storage unit.
