Abstract

A flywheel-driven tool includes a ferromagnetic driver. The driver has a firing position in which the driver is drivingly engaged against the flywheel. The driver also has a home position radially further away from the flywheel than the firing position when the flywheel is spinning in preparation to firing the driver. A magnet is positioned adjacent the driver to exert a magnetic force on the driver to pull the driver into the home position.
