a battery housing supported by the first elastic member;
a battery holder to which a battery pack is attachable, the battery holder being movably supported by the battery housing; and
a second elastic member configured to restrict relative movement of the battery housing and the battery pack attached to the battery holder,
wherein
the second elastic member includes a rubber buffer supported by the battery housing and to be in contact with the battery pack, and
the second elastic member includes a spring supported by the battery housing, and the spring urges the battery holder away from the rubber buffer.
2 . The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the battery holder is at an initial position under an urging force from the spring when receiving no external force in a direction toward the rubber buffer,
the rubber buffer and the battery pack attached to the battery pack are out of contact with each other when the battery holder is at the initial position, and
the rubber buffer and the battery pack attached to the battery holder come in contact with each other when the battery holder receives an external force in the direction toward the rubber buffer.
3 . The power tool according to claim 2 , wherein
the battery pack is slid forward along the battery holder to be attached to the battery holder, and
the rubber buffer is located in front of the battery pack.
4 . The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the battery housing includes a guide to guide a slide included in the battery holder.
5 . The power tool according to claim 4 , wherein
the battery housing includes a left battery housing and a right battery housing, and
the battery housing includes a plurality of the guides including a guide in the left battery housing and a guide in the right battery housing.
6 . The power tool according to claim 5 , wherein
the battery holder holds a terminal unit including a terminal connectable to a battery terminal in the battery pack.
7 . The power tool according to claim 6 , wherein
the battery holder includes a left battery holder and a right battery holder, and the terminal unit is located between the left battery holder and the right battery holder.
8 . The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the first elastic member is a rod extending in three directions different from one another.
9 . The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the first elastic member is located between the main housing and the battery housing.
10 . The power tool according to claim 9 , wherein
the first elastic member has a holding groove, and
the main housing includes a holding protrusion placed in the holding groove.
11 . The power tool according to claim 10 , wherein
the battery housing has a holding recess receiving the first elastic member.
12 . The power tool according to claim 9 , wherein
the main housing includes a left main housing and a right main housing, and
the power tool comprises a plurality of the first elastic members including a first elastic member located between the left main housing and the battery housing and a first elastic member located between the right main housing and the battery housing.
13 . The power tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a striker in front of the motor;
an anvil strikable by the striker in a rotation direction; and
a D-shaped handle behind the motor;
wherein the battery housing is connected to the D-shaped handle, and the battery housing supports the battery holder.
14 . The power tool according to claim 13 , wherein
the battery holder is supported by the battery housing in a manner movable in a front-rear direction.
15 . The power tool according to claim 13 , further comprising:
a spring supported by the battery housing, the spring urging the battery holder away from the second elastic member.
16 . The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the first elastic member includes a first rod member, a second rod member and a third rod member, and
the first elastic member is a single component.
17 . The power tool according to claim 16 , wherein
the battery housing is located between the main housing and the battery holder, and
