Abstract
In one preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a driving tool for use in driving at least two drivable objects, including a first drivable object and a second drivable object. The tool includes: a tubular body having an inner surface defining a longitudinal bore which includes a front socket portion adapted to drive the first drivable object; a retractable bit disposed within the longitudinal bore, the bit being axially, non-rotatably movable within the longitudinal bore, and the bit having a tip portion adapted to drive the second drivable object; a spring disposed in the longitudinal bore behind the retractable bit for forwardly biasing the bit; and a cap removably disposed on the rear of the tubular body, the cap closing the rear of the longitudinal bore and supporting the rear of the spring. Thus, the retractable bit is removably disposed in the longitudinal bore. The retractable bit is capable of being moved rearwardly into the longitudinal bore by contact with the first drivable object when the front socket portion engages the first drivable object, such that the tip portion is disposed rearwardly of at least a part of the front socket portion in a retracted state.
