The invention relates to a hand-held
power tool, in particular a screwdriver, having an elongate housing in which a drive unit having at least one
drive motor is arranged for driving a tool receptacle, wherein the tool receptacle is configured for receiving an insert tool, and an activation unit for activating the
drive motor, wherein activation of the
drive motor is effected by loading of an insert tool arranged in the tool receptacle, in particular against a workpiece to be machined, along a longitudinal axis of the hand-held
power tool, the activation unit having a motor switch arranged in the region of the tool receptacle and a manipulation element arranged on the periphery of the tool receptacle for manipulating the motor switch, wherein the tool receptacle has an inner receptacle facing the drive motor for receiving a spring element belonging to the activation unit, which, by loading of the tool receptacle, loads the manipulation element in a direction away from the drive motor for deactivating the drive motor.
