The torque control circuit of a hand tool contains a motor driving circuit, a current detection circuit, a reference voltage generation circuit, a current limiting circuit, and a torque configuration circuit. In the last stage of operation of the hand tool and when the average current has reached a predetermined level, the average current is maintained for a period of time to provide a constant average power and therefore to achieve an appropriate tightness of the bolt or nut being operated. The detection and control of current is achieved by a linear circuit which is robust to the heavy noises produced by the motor. A microprocessor is adopted to consider factors such as temperature in determining a suitable current level.
