A dustproof device for use in an electric nail gun includes a dustproof plate and two fastening members. The electric nail gun includes a muzzle unit used for discharging nails and a machine body unit connected to the muzzle unit and operable to strike the nails. The dustproof plate has a mounting surface facing the machine body unit, an exterior surface that is opposite to the mounting surface and prevents foreign matters from entering the machine body unit, and a through hole that extends through the mounting surface and the exterior surface, that permits the muzzle unit to extend fittingly therethrough, and that is complementary in shape with a contour of a cross section of the muzzle unit. The two fastening members extend from the mounting surface and are detachably connected to the machine body unit to secure the dustproof plate between the machine body unit and the muzzle unit.

A fastener driving tool with a working cylinder and a piston, the piston outer surface having a lubricant-saturated foam material that stores and dispenses lubricant into the piston-cylinder wall interface, thereby increasing the performance and lifespan of the tool. Another embodiment discloses a two-part piston in which the bottom portion is made of metal and absorbs the main mechanical loading forces of the piston drive and return strokes, and the top portion is made of a non-metallic material that has surfaces that act as sliding bearings against the inner wall of the cylinder.

A driver including: an ejection part to which a fastener is supplied; a driver blade which moves from a first position toward a second position and drives the fastener into a driven member; and a rack provided to the driver blade. The driver further includes: a rotary component engaging with the rack and moving the driver blade from the second position to the first position; and a lock plate engaging with the rack. The driver blade moves from the second position to the first position while the rotary component rotates once, the rotary component is released from engaging with the rack after the driver blade moves from the second position to the first position, and moves from the first position to the second position, and the lock plate is engageable with the rack when the driver blade stops before reaching the second position from the first position.

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.

A nail tip guide tool is attached to an end of a nose of a nailing machine to provide guide pieces on a bottom surface inside same, the nail guide tool having a lower portion in a funnel shape. The top surfaces of the guide pieces have a recess in a mortar shape when brought together at the center of the funnel shape by a press board member biased by a coil spring. The guide pieces are used so that in the nose, the tip of a nail in an inclined posture is guided to a center of the mortar shape and is inserted thereamong, and correcting the posture thereof. For fastening a metal piece with a nail, distal ends of the guide pieces are structured to form a conical shape, and with this portion having been fitted into a pilot hole of the metal piece, the nail is struck.

A driver for a nail anchor includes an elongate tool body having a driven end and an opposite nail-driving end. The nail-driving end includes a convexly rounded end of the tool body enabling the driver to drive a nail even when not axially aligned with the nail. The nail-driving end also includes a skirt portion extending around the rounded end to limit lateral displacement of the nail-driving end of the tool body relative to a head of the nail as the driver drives the nail.

A driving tool includes a driving mechanism which is driven with a fluid and which is configured to drive a fastener supplied to a nose portion and a clocking mechanism configured to perform clocking of a time period for switching between presence and absence of actuation of the driving mechanism. The clocking mechanism is supplied with a fluid for actuating the driving mechanism, moves a moving member from an initial position to a clocking starting position where clocking is started by force of the fluid, and performs clocking by controlling movement of the moving member by applying a load of resistance when the moving member moves from the clocking starting position to the initial position thereof.
