Abstract: The magazine hammer has a hammer head (1) and a hammer shaft (2) running transversely to the latter. A guide channel (3) for guiding nails (4) from a nail magazine (5) runs in the longitudinal direction of the hammer shaft (2). The guide channel (3), in its end facing the hammer head (1), forms a deflection channel (7) for swinging round the nails (4) fed individually in their longitudinal direction. For this purpose, the deflection channel (7), on its lower side or its side remote from the hammer head (1), is provided with a passage slot (11) for the nail shank so that, in this area, a nail (4) fed individually in its longitudinal direction can swing about its nail head as a rotational axis into the desired setting position at the hammer head (1).

Abstract: A nailing tool in the form of a hammer is provided to enable a number of nails to be knocked successively into workpieces by single-handed operation. The tool comprises a cavity in the handle of the hammer forming the nail magazine, followed by a passage in the handle leading to a curved deflector within the handle which feeds one nail at a time to the hammer head (20). At the hammer head the nail (N.sub.1) is held by a permanent magnet adjacent an auxiliary striking surface that is spaced from the main striking surface of the hammer head, for setting into the workpiece. To ensure that only one nail reaches the deflector at any time, the passage contains a nail retainer which passes only one nail at a time when actuated manually.
