Patent ID: 8701956

Claim:
A hand-held tool in which multiple fasteners are successively fed, the hand-held tool comprising: a trigger, wherein a fastener is ejected from a nose portion when the trigger is operated; a contact member disposed slidably with respect to the nose portion, wherein an operation of the trigger is effective only when the contact member is pressed against a member to which the fastener is driven; an ejection detecting portion configured to detect an ejection of the fasteners; a fastener residual quantity detecting mechanism configured to detect a residual quantity of the fasteners and configured to display a light emitting pattern corresponding to the residual quantity of the fasteners such that a blinking interval of the light emitting pattern changes with a change in the residual quantity of the fasteners; and a control portion configured to switch from a power saving wait mode of small power consumption to an active mode of executing normal processing in response to the ejection detecting portion detecting the ejection of the fasteners, and configured to switch from the active mode to the wait mode in response to the residual quantity of the fasteners being a given quantity or less.
