Abstract:
1. A driving tool comprising: a nose portion that guides a fastener in a driving direction from a base end of the nose portion to a leading end of the nose portion, the nose portion having a first side surface opposite to a second side surface that extend from the base end to the leading end of the nose portion, the leading end of the nose portion including a third side surface that forms a receiving portion and that intersects the first side surface and the second side surface; and a contact arm including a wire rod provided along the first side surface and the second side surface of the nose portion, the wire rod being bent in a leading end portion of the contact arm in a direction toward the third side surface of the nose portion such that the wire rod is bent at an angle to the driving direction of the fastener, wherein the nose portion and the contact arm are arranged such that the contact arm is slidable along the nose portion between an extended position, in which the leading end portion of the contact arm is positioned away from the base end of the nose portion in the driving direction, and a retracted position, in which the leading end portion of the contact arm is positioned toward the base end of the nose portion in a direction opposite to the driving direction, wherein, when the contact arm is in the retracted position by a sliding of the contact arm toward the base end of the nose portion, the leading end portion of the contact arm surrounds the first side surface, the second side surface, and the third side surface of the leading end of the nose portion and a surface of the receiving portion is closely facing to an inner surface of the leading end portion of the contact arm the receiving portion is adapted to prevent the contact arm from being deformed to a side of the leading end of the nose portion.
