Abstract
A powered hand-held fastening tool includes a housing defining a handle, a frame, a motor-driven flywheel journaled to the frame, and an elongated driver that is selectively coupled to the flywheel to drive a fastener into a workpiece. The flywheel and driver have complementary sloped surfaces that mesh with each other to transmit energy from the flywheel to the driver to accelerate the driver along the driver axis. A follower assembly for selectively coupling the driver to the flywheel includes a solenoid actuator.
