The hammer tacker includes a shell, a handle, and a striking mechanism. The shell is made of a mixture of fiberglass and nylon by injection molding. The shell encloses a receiving room and has a bottom opening extending along the longitudinal direction of the shell and communicating with the receiving room. The handle is disposed on the rear end of the shell. The striking mechanism is made of metal and includes a magazine and a striker. The magazine is received in the receiving room. An end of the magazine is pivotally connected to the rear end of the shell, and the other end tends to move outward due to an elastic element. At end of the striker is disposed on the inner wall of the shell. When the magazine is hit upward, the striker strikes the nails out.

A punch assembly includes a punch that defines an axis and a sleeve that is spring biased to the punch, the sleeve movable axially along the axis between a compressed positon and an extended position.

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.

A paint stick and marker installation system for inserting a marker having shaft with a bottom end for inserting into the ground and an engagement portion of the shaft separated from the bottom end by an insertion portion of the shaft. The apparatus includes a magazine assembly configured to receive at least one marker. The magazine space has a push position in the magazine space for receiving the at least one marker. The apparatus further comprises a push assembly mounted on the magazine assembly. The push assembly is configured to engage the engagement portion of the shaft of the marker located in the push position and push the marker from the magazine assembly when the push assembly is actuated. A plurality of the markers are bonded together such that each of the markers can be removed from the rest of the plurality when inserting a marker into the ground.

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.
