Abstract

To provide a compact portable fastening tool which can be easily pushed at its handle portion onto a punched side, even in case a magazine is attached at an inclination with respect to the horizon, so that it can be easily used even in a narrow place. An electric fastening tool 1 comprises: a housing 2 having a handle portion 2B formed to extend from a trunk portion 2A; an ejection unit attached to the lower portion of the housing 2; a magazine 5 attached to the ejection unit; a motor housed in the housing 2; a battery pack 3 for driving the motor; a flywheel rotationally driven by the motor; a follower shaft selectively rotated by the kinetic energy of the flywheel; and a plunger adapted to be linearly moved in the housing 2 by the rotation of the follower shaft thereby to drive the nail fed into the ejection unit. The magazine 5 is so attached that it is inclined in a side view with respect to the trunk portion 2A of the housing 2 and that it is inclined in a bottom view with respect to the handle portion 2B of the housing 2.
