Claim:
A portable hand-held power tool ( 2 ), comprising: a housing ( 10 ); a drive assembly ( 8 ) located in housing ( 10 ) for driving a tool spindle ( 4 ) extending along an operational axis (A), a first handle ( 16 ) rotatable around a first pivot axis (S 1 ) and a second handle ( 20 ) rotatable around a second pivot axis (S 2 ), the first and second handles ( 16 , 20 ) being arranged on the opposite sides ( 14 . 1 , 14 . 2 ) of the housing ( 10 ); first ( 22 ) and second ( 24 ) handle suspensions for rotating, respectively, the first ( 16 ) and second ( 20 ) handles about the first (S 1 ) and second (S 2 ) pivot axes, respectively, the first handle suspension ( 22 ) and the second handle suspension ( 24 ) partially extending circumferentially around the drive assembly ( 8 ); and spring means ( 46 ) for biasing the first and second handles ( 16 , 20 ) to an initial position thereof, wherein between the first handle suspension ( 22 ) and the second handle suspension ( 24 ), a first damping body ( 32 . 1 ; 32 . 2 ) is provided which forms a first end stop ( 30 . 1 ; 30 . 2 ) and a second end stop ( 38 . 1 ; 38 . 2 ), against which the first ( 22 ) and the second ( 24 ) handle suspensions are put up, and wherein the first damping body ( 32 . 1 , 32 . 2 ) limits a pivot motion of the first handle suspension ( 22 ) and a pivot motion of the second handle suspension ( 24 ) in both pivot directions.
