A depth control device includes a linkage connected to and movable with a contact element of a driving tool. A cam follower is connected to the linkage so as to be movable together therewith between first and second longitudinal positions relative to a cam when the contact element is disposed at anon-actuated position. The cam is connected to a driving member which is operable to drive the cam to move in a transverse direction relative to a longitudinal direction, and engages slidingly the cam follower so as to permit movement of the cam follower between first and second longitudinal positions.
