Abstract

A driving tool is provided with a driver for driving out a fastener from a nozzle, a balancer, and a balancer biasing member for biasing the balancer in a direction away from the nozzle. The balancer moves in the direction away from the nozzle by a biasing force of the balancer biasing member when the driver moves toward the nozzle.

Claims (17)

1. A driving tool comprising:

a driver provided to be slidable toward a nozzle formed in a leading end of the tool and adapted to drive out a fastener from the nozzle;

a plunger to which the driver is connected;

a plunger biasing member adapted to bias the plunger toward the nozzle; and

a balancer adapted to absorb a reaction on driving;

wherein the balancer is adapted to move in a direction away from the nozzle by a starting movement of the plunger toward the nozzle, and

wherein a biasing reaction generated by the balancer and a biasing reaction generated by the plunger biasing member are collinear.

2. The driving tool according to claim 1 ,

wherein a starting time of a movement of the balancer is later than a starting time of the movement of the plunger.

3. The driving tool according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a bumper against which the plunger is pressed on driving; and

balancer stopper against which the balancer is pressed on driving,

wherein, after the plunger reaches the bumper, the balancer reaches the balancer stopper.

4. The driving tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a bumper against which the plunger is pressed on driving; and

a balancer stopper against which the balancer is pressed on driving,

wherein, after the plunger reaches the bumper, the balancer reaches the balancer stopper.
