Abstract

A hammer assembly for a power tool. The hammer assembly provides a first, proximal engagement portion couplable directly to a backside of the power. A second, distal engagement portion is directly connected to the first engagement portion. A head portion is directly connected to the second engagement portion. The second engagement portion provides one or more chambers, each chamber housing a spring for storing energy imparted by compressive forces against the head portion. Each spring directly interconnecting the first and second engagement portions through an open side of the chamber facing the first engagement portion. There is a gap between the first and second engagement portions, between their respective distal and proximal surface, which is spanned by the spring, enabling the latter to deflect before said surfaces contact under compressive loading.
