An impact tool includes a housing, an electric motor supported within the housing and having a motor shaft, and a drive assembly configured to convert a continuous rotational input from the motor shaft to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The drive assembly includes a camshaft having front and rear portions. A gear assembly is coupled between the motor shaft and the drive assembly, the gear assembly including a ring gear that is rotationally and radially fixed relative to the housing and a plurality of planet gears meshed with the ring gear. Each of the plurality of planet gears is coupled to the rear portion of the camshaft, and a line of action of a radial load exerted by the rear portion of the camshaft on the housing passes through one of the plurality of planet gears and the ring gear.
