The invention relates to a single-phase brushless motor and an electric tool. The motor comprises a stator and a rotor, wherein the rotor can rotate relative to the stator, the stator comprises a stator magnetic core and a winding, the stator magnetic core comprises a yoke part and at least two teeth, the at least two teeth inwards extend from the yoke part, each tooth comprises a tooth body and a tooth crown, the tooth crown is arranged at a tail end of the tooth body and comprises a first pole shoe and a second pole shoe, the first pole shoe and the second pole shoe respectively extend towards two sides, the rotor is accommodated in a space encircled by the first pole shoes and the second pole shoes of the at least two teeth, a positioning groove is formed between the first pole shoe and the second pole shoe of each tooth and faces the rotor, the positioning groove is biased towards the first pole shoe, so that a pole surface of the second pole shoe facing the rotor is larger than a pole surface of the first pole shoe facing the rotor. The single-phase motor is relatively large in starting torque and high in starting capability, the starting capability of the single-phase motor facing a direction is higher than the starting capability of the single-phase motor facing another direction, and the single-phase motor is particularly applicable for application occasions such as the electric tool.
