  • Patent number: 6951153
    Abstract: A nail guiding and driving tool includes a substantially elongated tool body defining a hammer contacting surface and a longitudinally opposed nail contacting surface. The tool also includes a guiding sleeve slidably mounted relative to the tool body adjacent a distal end thereof. The sleeve channel defines a nail head receiving section extending inwardly from a sleeve distal end for receiving the nail head. The guiding sleeve is movable relative to the tool body between a sleeve extended configuration and a sleeve retracted configuration. When the guiding sleeve is in the sleeve extended configuration, the nail contacting surface is located within the sleeve channel and is recessed inwardly relative to the sleeve distal end so as to allow the nail head to be inserted into the nail head receiving section. A biasing component is provided for biasing the guiding sleeve towards the sleeve extended configuration.
