An aspect of some embodiments of the current invention relates to a positioner for holding one or more fasteners (e.g. screws and/or nails) which allows a user to push the fasteners out directly into a target material. For example, a user may locate the positioner over a location on the target material and/or drive the fastener through the positioner into the target. In some embodiments, the positioner includes multiple fasteners, for example the positioner maybe used as a magazine of fasteners and/or a storage box for fasteners. Optionally, the positioner includes a hard frame and/or a soft passage holding the fastener. For example, a fastener is inserted into the top of the passage and driven (e.g. pushed, hammered and/or screwed) through, out the bottom of the passage into the target. Optionally, multiple positioners may be arranged along a guide

A set tool may comprise a handle member and a fastener retention member modularly coupled with the handle member. A permanent magnet may be positioned within a portion of the handle member and may be used to secure a ferromagnetic fastener within a fastener retention recess formed within the fastener retention member, when the fastener retention member is engaged with the handle member.

A stake implanting tool is provided. The stake implanting tool includes an elongated body designed with angled aluminum. The elongated body has a lower end and an upper end. A handle is slidably disposed within a channel defined by the elongated body. A flat stake driver is operably connected to the handle. A slot is disposed on the elongated body. When the handle is in the resting position, a stake is placed within the slot. The stake is retained to the slot by a spring loaded pin. A rounded base disposed on a lower end of the elongated body supports the device on the land mat. An aperture is disposed on the rounded base. In operation, the handle is slid down the channel, the stake is ejected through the aperture into the ground. A stopping guard prevents the stake from being implanted too deep into the ground.

The present invention includes devices and methods that assist in hanging pictures or other things in a desired position on a wall or other surface where it is desired to insert two or more mounting nails or studs. Embodiments of the invention include a pair of nail-inserting punch assemblies that are provided on one or more stabilizing bars, although other embodiments may include more than two punch assemblies. Preferred embodiments may also include a measuring strip (ruler) between the punch assemblies, a slidable level, a slidable nail or stud carrier, and/or a laser. The unique nail insertion mechanism of each punch includes a sleeve for receiving a finishing nail, a magnet for holding the nail in place, and a coil spring for maintaining the handle in striking position. After positioning the device on a wall, applying punching force to each handle collapses the spring and causes a nail to be driven into the wall.

A portable item carrier and belt feed system is provided along with related methods. One illustrative embodiment includes a carrier and feed structure comprising a semi-rigid material with a divider support extending perpendicularly from a center floor section of the carrier. A belt of items is folded over the divider to reduce jams or misfeeds as the belt of items is pulled through a feed chute near an upper side section of the carrier and feed structure at a predetermined range of feed angles to the divider support. A latch disposed on a lid of the feed structure is configured for quick and easy access to the belt of items. A flexible outer container encloses the carrier and feed structure and can be coupled to a harness section configured to couple with a mobile structure. Additional embodiments include variants suitable for field manufacturing as well as portable manufacturing systems and methods.

A spare staple storage device including a housing, a retaining mechanism carrier, and a retaining mechanism. The housing having a first end, an opposing second end, and a flat surface adapted to secure to a stapler extending an entirety of a length of the housing between the first end and the second end. The retaining mechanism carrier affixed to the housing. The retaining mechanism carried by the retaining mechanism carrier and adapted to selectively occlude a first opening at the first end of the housing.

A fastening device for supporting, hanging, holding and threading, includes: a shank with an aperture formed therethrough which can but doesn't have to include a built up area of material around it. The shank has two ends one end (head) is configured to be driven into by a driving tool such as a hammer, for securing the second pointed end into a member for securing the shank therewithin.

A handheld guide for advancing and installing a decking fastener with an elongate track with a rail and an advancement member. The advancement member carries a pivoting pawl with an engagement surface for advancing fasteners forward through the track to an installation position with a frontmost fastener aligned with a screw guide for driving a screw through the frontmost fastener. The rail has a ramp transitioning to a cliff and a lower ledge such that the frontmost fastener is maintained forward of the cliff above the ledge in the installation position. The pawl pivots to disengage from the fasteners when the advancement member moves rearwardly along the track.
