A driving tool is provided in which contact arms of the driving tool are symmetrically arranged at lateral sides of the drive passage, and contact portions of the contact arms are movable between an ON position and an OFF position. Further, the driving tool is configured such that each contact portion is independently movable between the ON position and the OFF position, and when both of the contact portions are moved to the ON position, the driving operation of a drive unit is allowed to operate, and when only one of the contact portions is moved to the ON position, the driving operation of the drive unit is not allowed to operate.
