An impact tool includes a hammer that is moved in an axis direction while being rotated by an action of a cam mechanism provided for a spindle and an anvil to which a rotational force and a striking force are applied by the hammer. A rear end surface of a striking part of the hammer is obliquely formed and has two mountain-shaped inclined surfaces. A striking part of the anvil is formed with two mountain-shaped inclined surfaces. By the inclined surfaces, even when the motor is stopped at a state where the hammer gets on the anvil, the hammer is moved forwards in the axis direction by an action of a spring and is then stopped.
