An impact drill includes a first ratchet rotating along with a spindle and movable in an axial direction, a second ratchet engaged with the first ratchet and movable in a axial direction but unrotatable, and a spring provided between the second ratchet and a partial member of a housing. An amount of movement of the spindle in the axial direction is regulated, so that the pressing force is too excessive, the restoring force of the spring urging the second ratchet is controlled to maintain a state of generating a set stroke force.
