Hand-held tool

A hand-held tool for driving fastening elements into a base, comprising an initiating device, the actuation of which initiates a driving process and which can be blocked depending on at least one tool state;

• and an electrically actuatable mechanical blocking device with which actuation of the initiating device can be blocked or released, wherein the actuatable mechanical blocking device is mechanically coupled to a transmission element, which in turn acts mechanically on the initiating device, the transmission element having a recess, the recess having a position relative to the initiating device that can be varied by the blocking device, wherein the initiating device comprises an actuator and the recess is positioned in a receiving position relative to the initiating device such that the actuator engages during actuation with the recess, without initiating a movement of the transmission element, and wherein the recess is positioned in an initiating position relative to the initiating device such that, when actuating the initiating device, the actuator initiates a movement of the transmission element and initiates a driving process.
