  • Publication number: 20180257209
    Abstract: A hand-held drive-in device for fastening elements has a drive arrangement for a drive-in ram which is mounted so as to be movable in a guide, the ram being coupled via a transmission device to at least one drive spring element which can be tensioned via a tensioning device, wherein the transmission device and the drive spring element have masses. In order to improve the quality of setting operations, the masses of the transmission device and of the drive spring element are tailored to one another such that, when driving a fastening element at a drive-in point into a substrate, the hand-held drive-in device experiences a supporting force which acts in the direction of the substrate and serves, with the hand-held drive-in device, to exert pressure on the surroundings of the drive-in point.
