A driving tool having a striking unit and a driver unit includes a solenoid configured to switch between a first state and a second state by being actuated by the supply and stop of the electric power, wherein the driver unit has a first drive state in which the striking unit can be actuated and a second drive state in which the actuation of the striking unit is blocked, wherein the first state enables the driver unit to switch from the second drive state to the first drive state and the second state blocks the driver unit from switching from the second drive state to the first drive state, and wherein an actuation direction of the solenoid and the moving direction of the nail are arranged so as to intersect each other.
