Magazines in fastener driving tools

A magazine in a fastener driving tool, comprising:

• a magazine body defining a fastener receiving space for storing a plurality of fasteners therein;
• a pusher movable relative to the magazine body along a fastener feeding direction toward a fastener driving channel defined in a tool body of the fastener driving tool;
• a biasing device constructed to bias the pusher in the fastener feeding direction;
• a pair of guide rails configured to guide the fasteners in the fastener feeding direction;
• and
• a pusher holding device configured to hold the pusher at a midway position within a movable range of the pusher in the fastener feeding direction, the pusher holding device comprising:
• an engaging member mounted to one of the pusher and the guide rail, the engaging member being configured to engage the other of the pusher and the guide rails.
