Abstract
A fastener tool includes a body having a driver guide mounted thereon. The driver guide extends downwardly from the body and has a longitudinal axis in a driving direction of fasteners. A control member may be movably mounted on the body for controlling a fastener driving operation. A support leg device serves to permit the tool to be placed on a surface in an upright position, in which the driver guide extends substantially vertically relative to the surface. The support leg device defines a predetermined support area extending in a plane for abutment with the surface. The support leg device is arranged such that the tool center of gravity is positioned directly above the support area in a plan view when the tool is in the upright position, in which the support area extends substantially horizontally, so that the control member does not substantially interfere with the surface.
