Abstract: A hand-held framing tool allows for insertions of nails into picture frames and the like. The tool includes a spring actuated magnet in the central bore of the tool, a portion of the magnet extending forwardly of an anvil head and adapted to received and retain “V” nails for joining the comers of the frame. The anvil head also includes at least one blind groove or slot for receiving the head portion of a nail or flexi-point which is held by the magnet. All nails are inserted into the work by the anvil as the tool is pushed forward toward the work surface and the magnet is pushed into the bore.
