An electric pulse tool is configured to deliver torque in pulses on an output shaft thereof and includes an electric motor to drive the output shaft. The electric pulse tool is configured to, for each period, provide a current pulse to the electric motor during a current-on time interval, pause a current feed to the electric motor after the current-on time interval until an end of a torque pulse, determine a width of the torque pulse, and continue pausing the current feed to the electric motor during a pause interval from the end of the torque pulse. The pause interval is determined based on the width of the torque pulse such that a wider torque pulse results in a wider pause interval and a narrower torque pulse results in a shorter pause interval.
