Abstract

A tool for driving metallic fasteners which includes a magnetic driving head defined by partially separated segments of opposite polarity which are spaced from one another along a portion of their width, but which are integrally connected by an integrally formed reinforcing bridge element so that the impacting surface of the tool is generally continuous except for spaced grooves which extend inwardly of the impacting surface of the tool and which partially separate the magnetized segments from one another.
