Electrically-mechanically operated tool for driving fasteners

A tool for driving in a fastener, comprising:

• a mechanical energy storage element for storing mechanical energy,
• an ejecting device configured to be linearly movable in a guide device between a clamping position and an ejecting position to transfer energy from the mechanical energy storage element to the fastener, wherein the ejecting device has a driver element and a shooting device,
• an electric motor and a spindle drive driven by the electric motor for converting a rotational movement of the electric motor into a linear movement of the ejecting device, wherein the driver element is connected to the spindle drive and is releasably coupled to the shooting device,
• a control device configured to control a direction of rotation of the electric motor, the ejecting device being movable in a direction toward the clamping position by rotation of the spindle drive in a first direction of rotation, and the mechanical energy storage element being loadable by the movement of the ejecting device in the direction toward the clamping position,
• a locking device configured to lock the shooting device in the clamping position, wherein the locking device is further configured to be actuated to release the shooting device so that the shooting device is movable in the direction toward the ejecting position,
• wherein the driver element is movable in the direction toward the ejecting position through rotation of the spindle drive in a second direction of rotation, and the locking device is configured to release the shooting device through the movement of the driver element in the direction of the ejecting position.
