Abstract

An impact tool includes a housing having a handle portion defining a first axis, a motor supported by the housing, and a rotary impact mechanism arranged on the first axis and configured to receive torque from the motor, the rotary impact mechanism configured to convert a continuous rotational input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The rotary impact mechanism includes a chamber containing a hydraulic fluid, an anvil positioned at least partially within the chamber, and a hammer for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil, the hydraulic fluid configured to attenuate a noise of the rotary impact mechanism that is created by the hammer impacting the anvil. An output member for receiving torque from the rotary impact mechanism is arranged on a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis.
