The handheld power tool (1) comprises a pneumatic striking mechanism (12), which has a striking piston (15) for linearly moving a tool (6) in a striking direction (9) and an excitation piston (14) for exciting the striking piston (15), a drive device (17), which is coupled to the excitation piston (14) in order to shift it from a first dead center (TP1) to a second dead center (TP2) and vice versa, a vibration damper (26), a damper body (27) and one with has a spring element (32, 33) coupled to the absorber body (27), and a coupling device (31), the coupling device (31) being set up to couple the drive device (17) to the absorber body (27) when the exciter piston ( 14) from the first dead center (TP1) to the second dead center (TP2) in order to pretension the spring element (32, 33), and wherein the coupling device (31) is set up to separate the drive device (17) from the absorber body (27) to decouple if or immediately before a distance (a) between the excitation piston (14) and the percussion piston (15) is minimal, so that the prestressed spring element (32, 33) shifts the damper body (27) in the direction of impact (9).
