Publication number: 20260145311Abstract: A high inertia driver system for a fastening tool having an electric motor that drives a flywheel to contact a driver blade to drive a fastener into a workpiece. The high inertia driver system also has a return system which prevents the unintentional driving of a second fastener. The return system uses a return spring that controls the recoil energy of the driver blade after driving a fastener into a workpiece. The system achieves a long operational life for the fastening tool by increasing the number of return cycles of the driver blade free of a return spring failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2025Publication date: May 28, 2026Applicant: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Stuart E. Garber, Paul G. Gross, Marco A. Mattucci
