An impact rotary tool is provided that is switchable between an impact mode where the tool delivers an impacting torque on an output tool and a drill mode where the driver delivers a smooth output on an output tool. The impact rotary tool includes an impact mechanism and a hammer block that in the impact mode is movable parallel to the axis of the driver shaft and delivers reciprocating blows to rotate an anvil and in the drill mode substantially constantly engages the anvil. The impact mechanism includes a stopper that does not contact the hammer block in the impact mode and engages the hammer block in the drill mode to maintain the substantially constant contact between the hammer block and the anvil.

1. An impact rotary tool comprising: a spindle aligned to accept torque from a motor and to selectively engage either an internal shaft or a concentric external shaft;a hammer block rotatably mounted to the concentric external shaft and moveable parallel to the concentric external shaft against the biasing force of a spring;wherein when the spindle engages the internal shaft, a forward end of the internal shaft rotatably engages an output shaft and the concentric external shaft is disengaged from the spindle and the output shaft, and wherein when the spindle engages the concentric external shaft, the hammer block reciprocatingly engages the output shaft, wherein the internal shaft does not engage the output shaft when the spindle engages the concentric external shaft. 2. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, wherein the spindle is selectively engageable with the internal shaft and the spindle is selectively engageable with the concentric external shaft. 3. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, wherein the concentric external shaft does not rotate when the spindle engages the internal shaft, and wherein the internal shaft does not rotate when the spindle engages the concentric external shaft. 4. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, wherein the spring biases the hammer block toward the output shaft. 5. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, further comprising a cam rotatably connecting the hammer block to the external shaft. 6. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, wherein the forward end of the internal shaft is engageable with the output shaft through a spline connection. 7. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, wherein the spindle selectively engages either the internal shaft or the external shaft based on the position of the spindle. 8. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, wherein the spindle is selectively engageable with a bracket on the external shaft. 9. The impact rotary tool of claim 1, wherein the spindle is engageable with the internal shaft through a spline connection. 10. An impact rotary tool comprising: a drive shaft aligned to accept torque from a motor with a portion of the drive shaft includes a cavity;a hammer block mounted to the drive shaft and movable parallel to the drive shaft against the biasing force of a spring;a bracket connected to the drive shaft within the cavity, wherein the bracket being aligned in a first position where the bracket is completely within the cavity or in a second position where a forward end of the bracket extends out of the cavity; andan output shaft that is reciprocatingly engaged by the hammer block when the bracket is in the first position and substantially constantly engaged by the hammer block when the bracket is in the second position;wherein the forward end of the bracket is engageable with the hammer block to substantially prevent reciprocation of the hammer block when the bracket is in the second position. 11. The impact rotary tool of claim 10 wherein the drive shaft further comprises a center bore and a second spring placed within the center bore to bias the bracket toward the first position. 12. The impact rotary tool of claim 11 further comprising a rod located within the center bore behind the bracket, wherein the rod is movable within the drive shaft to urge the bracket from the first position to the second position, and the second spring returns the bracket to the first position when the rod no longer urges the bracket to the second position. 13. The impact rotary tool of claim 12, further comprising a switch that is rotatable to move the rod within the center bore. 14. The impact rotary tool of claim 13, wherein the switch comprises a ramped surface that engages the rod. 15. The impact rotary tool of claim 12, wherein the bracket is T-shaped with an upper tip and a lower tip, wherein the upper tip contacts the hammer block when the bracket is in the second position, and the lower tip contacts the second spring and the rod in substantially all positions of the bracket. 16. The impact rotary tool of claim 11, wherein the center bore intersects the cavity. 17. The impact rotary tool of claim 10, wherein the bracket is T-shaped. 18. An impact rotary tool comprising: a first shaft;a second shaft concentric with the first shaft and at least partially disposed within the first shaft;a hammer block supported for reciprocation on the first shaft;an output shaft rotatable relative to at least one of the first and second shafts; anda spindle movable between a first position, in which the spindle is engaged with the second shaft to transfer torque directly to the output shaft while bypassing the hammer block and being disengaged from the first shaft, and a second position, in which the spindle is engaged with the first shaft to transfer torque to the output shaft through the hammer block. 19. The impact rotary tool of claim 18, wherein the first shaft and the hammer block are stationary and not rotatable when the spindle is in the first position, and wherein the second shaft is rotatable relative to the first shaft when the spindle is in the first position. 20. The impact rotary tool of claim 18, wherein the second shaft is stationary and not rotatable when the spindle is in the second position, and wherein the first shaft is rotatable relative to the second shaft when the spindle is in the second position. 21. The impact rotary tool of claim 18, further comprising a plurality of external splines coupled to the outer periphery of the second shaft, anda plurality of internal splines coupled to the spindle, wherein the external splines are engaged with the internal splines when the spindle is in the first position. 22. The impact rotary tool of claim 21, further comprising a plurality of external splines coupled to the outer periphery of the spindle, anda plurality of internal splines coupled to the first shaft, wherein the external splines on the spindle are engaged with the internal splines on the first shaft when the spindle is in the second position. 23. The impact rotary tool of claim 22, wherein the external splines on the second shaft are disengaged from the internal splines on the spindle when the spindle is in the second position. 24. The impact rotary tool of claim 18, wherein the first shaft includes a cam along which the hammer block is axially reciprocable when the spindle is in the second position. 25. The impact rotary tool of claim 24, further comprising a spring biasing the hammer block toward the output shaft. 26. The impact rotary tool of claim 18, further comprising an anvil concentric with the second shaft and operable to transfer torque from the hammer block to the output shaft when the spindle is in the second position. 27. The impact rotary tool of claim 26, wherein the anvil is stationary and not rotatable when the spindle is in the first position. 28. The impact rotary tool of claim 18, wherein the output shaft includes a chuck.
