A force-limiting and damping device comprising: a body, being an elongated shaft and having a front end; a rear end; a connecting segment formed on and protruding from the front end of the body and having a top side; a bottom side; an external surface; and a mounting hole formed through the bottom side of the connecting segment to form a chamber in the connecting segment and communicating with the mounting hole; a holding segment formed on the rear end of the body and being opposite the connecting segment; a tapping element connected to the body to move relative to the connecting segment and having a mounting segment movably mounted in the connecting segment via the mounting hole, and having an external surface; a limiting recess communicating with the chamber; and at least one positioning pin transversally mounted through the external surface of the connecting segment and extending into the limiting recess to hold the mounting segment with the connecting segment; and a tapping segment integrally formed with the mounting segment as a single piece; and an elastic element mounted in the chamber of the connecting segment and abutting the mounting segment of the tapping element to enable the elastic element to mount between the connecting segment and the mounting segment; wherein the force-limiting and damping device is used in a tapping process, the tapping element is moved toward the body to push against the elastic element, a user is reminded of a tapping force by identifying a compressed extent of the elastic element to determine the tapping force is larger or smaller than the preset compression force of the elastic element to provide a force-limiting effect to the user, and the elastic element absorbs a reaction that is generated by the tapping element to provide a delayed rebound damping and percussion-energy saving effect, and characterized in that: the limiting recess is annularly formed in the external surface of the mounting segment. a body, being an elongated shaft and having a front end;
