In a gear case of a housing, there are provided a clutch switching groove which engages with a connecting projection of a clutch switching lever, a slit which guides a guide body having a stepped pin which penetrates an impact switching groove to engage with an auxiliary ring, and a percussion switching groove which engages with a connecting projection of a percussion switching lever.
