Abstract (en)

A power tool comprising: a motor at least partially located within the handle of the tool and having a motor output shaft extending along a first axis extending along the length of the handle; and a fastener gripping portion operatively coupled to the motor via a transmission which in use causes movement of the fastener gripping portion along a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, between a home position and a retracted position to set a fastener engaged by the fastener gripping portion; the transmission comprising a bevel gear arrangement for redirecting torque flowing along the first axis in use which is input to the bevel gear arrangement so that torque output from the bevel gear arrangement flows along the second axis and wherein the transmission further comprises a mechanism for converting torque output from the bevel gear arrangement in use into a linear force for causing linear movement of the fastener gripping portion.
