Hammer drill
A hammer drill includes a housing inside which a motor, a tubular tool holder, a driving mechanism, a rotation conversion member, and an inner housing are disposed. The driving mechanism is configured to perform at least one of rotation actuation of the tool holder and hammering actuation of a bit. The inner housing supports the driving mechanism, supports the tool holder via a first bearing, and supports an output shaft via a second bearing. The inner housing is divided into a front housing holding the first bearing and a rear housing that is formed in a separate body from the front housing and holds the second bearing. The inner housing is formed by connecting the front housing to the rear housing in an axis line direction of the tool holder. A seal member sealing outside space of the inner housing inside the housing is disposed in the front housing.

the rotation conversion member is housed inside the front housing.
3. The hammer drill according to claim 1 , wherein
the seal member is in front of the rotation conversion member in the front-rear direction.
4. The hammer drill according to claim 1 , wherein
the seal member overlaps and is radially outward of the first bearing in a radial direction from the front-rear direction.
5. The hammer drill according to claim 4 , wherein
the front housing has an outer peripheral surface, a depressed groove is in a whole circumference of the outer peripheral surface, and the seal member is an O-ring held in the depressed groove.
6. The hammer drill according to claim 1 , wherein
an air flow passage is on an outside of the rotation conversion member in a radial direction from the front-rear direction in a space between the inner housing and the housing.
7. The hammer drill according to claim 1 , wherein
the front housing is made of metal.

an exhaust outlet is on another side of the front and rear of the housing, and
the air inlet and the exhaust outlet are opposed to one another across the rotation axis.
12. The hammer drill according to claim 1 , wherein
the front housing is longer than the rear housing in the front-rear direction.
13. The hammer drill according to claim 1 , wherein
the first bearing is a bearing metal.
14. The hammer drill according to claim 1 , wherein
the second bearing is a ball bearing.
