An electric tool (1) may include a motor housing (11) and a motor (2) disposed within the motor housing (11). The motor (2) has a stator (21) fixed in position relative to the motor housing (11) and a rotor (28) rotatable about a motor axis. Cooling air can flow within the motor housing (11) across the motor (2) in a direction substantially parallel to the motor axis. A baffle (5; 105) may be disposed within the motor housing (11) for regulating the flow of cooling air across the motor (2). At least a part of the baffle (5; 105) may be positioned within a range of a length of the stator (21) with respect to the axial direction of the motor axis.
