Patent ID: 8240534

Claim:
A driving tool for driving a material to be driven into a workpiece comprising: first and second rotating elements which are spaced apart from each other and rotationally driven, a movable element that moves in a direction that strikes the material to be driven, a pressing member that presses the movable element toward the first and second rotating elements from a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the movable element, first and second contact surfaces provided on the movable element and extending along the direction of movement of the movable element such that the first and second contact surfaces form a V-shaped section, the contact surfaces being brought into contact with the first and second rotating elements when the pressing member presses the movable element, wherein the movable element is moved by a rotating force of the first and second rotating elements in a direction that strikes the material to be driven when the first and second contact surfaces come into contact with the first and second rotating elements, a first motor that drives the first rotating element, a second motor that is provided separately from the first motor and drives the second rotating element, a housing that houses the first and second motors and the first and second rotating elements, and a handle to be held by a user, which is connected to the housing and extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the housing, wherein the first and second motors are arranged in a V configuration such that their axes of rotation open up from the front in the pressing direction of the pressing member toward the handle side.
