The invention relates to a clip dispenser for the controlled dispensing and fixing of clips for use to position an elongate member such as a cable or pipe with respect to a surface. The dispensing means has a housing having a surface with a dispensing aperture through which a clip including a securing means in the form of, for example, a nail can be dispensed and a driver assembly is provided adjacent the aperture and which can be operated to drive the nail into the surface to which the clip and elongate member are to be fixed. The clips can be provided initially joined together to form a magazine cassette or cartridge from which the leading clip can be separated by the use of the apparatus.

The present disclosure is directed to a single-sided deck clip that allows an approach to deck board installation with hidden fasteners, and without grooving both edges of a deck board. By not grooving edges, perimeter trim can include one square finished edge on ending pieces. The single-sided clip allows for attaching fasteners through the clip at an angle that penetrates both a deck board and an underlying joist, thus providing a positive connection of decking to joist framing below. In another embodiment, a clip magazine is disclosed that stores, supplies, and assists in installation of single-sided deck clips and fasteners. The clip magazine can hold a plurality fasteners and single-sided deck clips. The magazine allows the single-sided clips and fasteners to be positioned relative to the deck board, and allows fasteners to be aligned with a single-sided clip, and pushed into a deck board during installation.

A nail plate tool which aids in positioning and installing nail plates in hard-to-reach areas. The nail plate tool generally includes an elongated portion having a handle portion at its first end and a holder portion at its second end. The handle portion is adapted to be grasped by a user and the holder portion is adapted to removably retain a nail plate against the nail plate tool, such as through use of a magnet. By removably securing the nail plate to the holder portion, an individual may more easily reach areas to install a nail plate.

A board fastening tool has a tool body and a driver having contiguous drive elements mounted in the body. A top element is mounted to slide in vertical track when hit from above. A bottom element is mounted to drive a fastener diagonally out of the body and into a board to fix the board to the floor. The top and bottom elements are connected by a spring steel ribbon device sliding in a curved track so that vertical movement of the top element is converted to diagonal movement of the bottom element. The spring steel ribbon device has a pair of spring steel ribbons joined to each other at respective ends thereof and separate from each other over an intermediate region.

An underwater air tacker (T) according to the present invention comprises: a water infiltration prevention means (1) which prevents water from infiltrating into a hammer operating means (100); an exhaust cover (2) preventing the water from flowing in; a compressed air discharge valve (3) preventing the water from flowing in; and a piston front-air discharge means (4). According to the underwater air tacker (T) having the above structure according to the present invention, when a marine collision accident occurs or a vessel faces a risk of sinking, a diver can rapidly repair a hole in the vessel underwater. Thus, damage caused by oil spill may be minimized, and loss of lives and property caused by the sinking of vessels can be prevented.

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 stake holding tool for holding a stake or post for driving into the ground while the person holding the stake is enabled to maintain a safe distance includes a body having a first end at which a head portion is located, and a second end defining a grip for holding the stake holding tool. The head portion includes a striking section that generally includes a resilient material adapted to absorb shock from impacts; and a stake receiving recess configured to receive stakes or posts of various sizes and configurations.

A securement device having a rod receiver attachable to the end of an anchor rod, the securement device having a headless nail slidably extendable from a first position within the device to a second position protruding outwardly from the end of the securement device opposite the rod receiver, and a method of positioning and securing an anchor rod attached to the securement device in a desired location on a concrete form deck within a rebar structure for a concrete formation, so that the headless nails may release from the securement device body when the deck is removed after the concrete sets, leaving an innocuous nail void in the concrete that may serve as a functional attachment recess.

A method of molding a hanger having one or more fastener holders with a fastener releasably molded in each of the one or more fastener holders includes providing a mold having one or more cavities configured to define one or more hangers integrally formed with one or more fastener holders, providing a fastener receiving chamber associated with each fastener holder, and providing means for maintaining each fastener in position in the corresponding fastener receiving chamber. The method of molding the device further includes feeding a fastener into each of the one or more fastener receiving chambers of the mold and positioning the fastener relative to the means for maintaining a fastener in position in the chamber.

This disclosure relates to the tools for holding and guiding fasteners, in particular to the portable fastener guiding tool that is designed to maintain a straight line of fasteners and equal distances between them. The portable fastener guiding tool includes a support plate, at least one sliding part mounted on the upper part of the support plate and configured to attach the fastener, a sliding handle mounted on the side part of the support plate, wherein the sliding handle is pressed near the wall's edge and the upper part of the sliding handle is attached to the beam or batten. The support plate further includes at least one sliding bracket configured for mounting fastener tool, such as nail gun or a drywall screw gun.
