The utility model provides an electric tool which comprises a
machine shell, a driving mechanism, a motor switch, a shaft lock mechanism and an operation piece, and the shaft lock mechanism comprises a first
clutch piece and a second
clutch piece which are matched with each other; the shaft lock mechanism is configured in the mode that when the first
clutch piece and the second clutch piece are clamped, the output shaft cannot rotate relative to the
machine shell. When the first clutch piece is separated from the second clutch piece, the output shaft can rotate relative to the
machine shell. The operating part is configured to push the first clutch part to be separated from the second clutch part when the operating part moves towards the first direction and moves by a first
stroke, and the motor switch is in a
closed state when the operating part moves by a second
stroke larger than the first
stroke. According to the electric tool, the operating piece is matched with the shaft lock mechanism and the motor switch in structure, so that the starting action of the motor switch is later than the clutch
state switching of the shaft lock mechanism, that is, starting is conducted after unlocking, motor stalling is avoided, the stalling risk during starting is reduced, and the service life of the electric tool is prolonged.
