An improved tool for driving metal fasteners, such as nails, brads, tacks, staples and the like in a frame and setting its rear closing panel. The tool comprises a driving lever suitable to urge, against a loading spring, a driving hammer which slides in the hollow bed of the tool. When the driving lever and the driving hammer disengage each other, the compression spring urges the driving hammer towards the outlet opening of the metal fastener, the latter being fed from a feeding magazine essentially perpendicular to the direction towards which the hammer is moved said magazine being provided with a pusher member for the metal fasteners.

A stapler includes a body and a strike plate movably mounted to the body between a rest position and a loaded position. The strike plate is adapted to drive a staple into a target object. The strike plate may be moved from the rest position to the loaded position by a loading mechanism against the bias of a power spring, whereupon the energy stored in the power spring is applied to the strike plate to drive the staple. A stapler may include a lockout which inhibits movement of the strike plate toward the loaded position unless a work piece is beneath the stapler body.
