(54) Power tool


(57) A power tool includes a reversing restriction portion (46b (46c)) arranged in a pivot member (42). When a drive unit (33) pivots the pivot member (42) to switch the gear ratio of a gear mechanism (41), the reversing restriction portion (46b (46c)) engages with a support (47) to restrict pivoting of the pivot member (42) in a reverse direction that is caused by a reaction force which acts on the pivot member (42) at a limit position from where further pivoting of the pivot member (42) is prohibited.
