Impact wrench (1) having an overall shape of a ‘T’ and comprising an upper
handle group (2), a lower working group (3) and an intermediate connecting rod (4) connected between the
handle group (2) and the working group (3), wherein: - the
handle group (2) comprises a first body (2') with two elongated handles (5, 6) extending in opposite directions to each other and transversely to a longitudinal direction (14) of the screwdriver (1), a manual actuating element (7) and a battery seat (8) for receiving an electric battery (9), - the working group (3) comprises a second body (3'), a
tool holder shaft (10) rotatably mounted about a pivot axis (R) and capable of carrying a screw
bushing, an
electric motor (11) powered by the battery (9) and operable by the manual actuating element (7), a gearbox (12) and an
impact mechanism (13) connected between the motor (11) and the
tool holder shaft (10) to impart rotational and
impact impulses, where: - the battery seat (8) consists of a cavity (34) formed in an outer surface of the first body (2') on an operator side (33) of the
impact wrench (1), wherein the cavity (34) is open to the outside of the first body (2') on the operator side (33) and on a top surface (35) of the
impact wrench (1) opposite the working group (3), - the cavity (34) accommodates the battery (9) over at least half of its thickness (37), measured in the direction of the operator side (33), and / or the battery (9) extends beyond the free ends of the handles (5, 6) in the direction of the operator side (33) by less than one third or less than one quarter of the thickness of the battery (37), measured in the direction of the operator side (33).
