A powered fastener driver includes a driver blade, a lifter, a nose piece, a magazine, and a light. The driver blade is configured to be movable between a top-dead center position and a bottom-dead center position. The lifter is operable to move the driver blade from the bottom-dead center position toward the top-dead center position. The drier blade is extendable through the nose piece when moving from the top-dead center position to the bottom-dead center position. The magazine is configured to transfer individual fasteners into the nose piece. The magazine has a front side configured to face the workpiece during driving of the fastener, an opposite rear side, and a lateral side extending between the front side and the rear side. The light is positioned adjacent the lateral side of the magazine closer to the front side than the rear side.

A staple device with an extension rod allows an installer to use the device to hold and pull tension on a string of wired lights and secure them to a surface, such as the underside of eaves or soffits on a dwelling. The activation of the stapling device is achieved by a pushing motion against the surface to be stapled to rather than the squeezing motion of current stapling devices. The staple device also provides greater mobility to the installer as opposed to the current method of positioning and repositioning a ladder around the base of the dwelling. The present invention allows the installer to quickly traverse the base of the dwelling and install the holiday lights in a more efficient manner than with the use of a ladder and squeeze-type staple staplers.

An extension for a nail gun includes a holder sized and configured to receive the nail gun. The extension includes an actuator, which is coupled to the holder. The extension includes a handle, which includes a trigger. The trigger of the handle is operably coupled to the actuator such that in response to actuation of the trigger of the handle, the actuator is configured to actuate a trigger of the nail gun. The extension includes an elongated connector disposed between the holder and the handle.

An adapter converts a fastener driving tool into an automatic (multiple shots per second) pneumatic fastener driving tool. The adapter is mounted to the top of the frame body of a pneumatic fastener driving tool, in which the adapter has a control valve that automatically moves to direct pressurized air to different passageways in the tool body in a repetitive cyclic manner. The speed of actuation can be adjusted by the user.

A staple gun and a method of using the same. A stapling mechanism in the housing is activated to deliver a staple through an aperture in a housing wall and drive the staple into a surface around a stack of one or more electric cables. The gun includes a reciprocating cable guide for centering the gun on the stack of cables and closing a safety switch to permit the gun's trigger to be activated. A spacer extending outwardly from the housing wall rests on the upper surface of the cable stack. The spacer and a bumper that engages a hammer of the stapling mechanism provide for automatic depth adjustment when driving the staple into the surface. A reciprocating cable guard extending outwardly from the housing wall is positioned between the stack of cables and the staple to aid in preventing the staple from piercing the cable.
