A multiple strike fastener driver/holder is provided and includes a fastener drive assembly, a catch, and a feeder assembly. The drive assembly includes an anvil mounted in a frame to translate in an impact direction to drive a fastener into a work surface and to translate an opposite direction to allow another fastener to be positioned for driving into a work surface. The feeder assembly is configured to carry a plurality of fasteners and to sequentially position each fastener of the plurality of fasteners relative to the fastener drive assembly to be driven into a work surface. The catch includes a catch tab having a pair of spaced surfaces that engage an elongate shaft of the anvil with the catch in the first condition to restrict translation of the anvil in the opposite direction.

Disclosed is a tool for driving a barbed staple into a workpiece, the tool includes a housing enclosing a power delivery source and a driver blade driven by the power delivery source and comprising an engagement portion configured for engagement with the staple. The tool further includes a nosepiece comprising an aperture providing access for loading a staple into the nosepiece and a passage configured for slidable mounting of the driver blade. In use, the driver blade may be driven along a longitudinal axis of the passage by the power delivery source to engage and drive a staple into a workpiece. Clearances are providing to allow for loading and passage of the barbed staples in the nosepiece and arrangements are provided to maintain the alignment of the staple in the nosepiece to compensate for those clearances.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery-powered stapling tool. A stapling tool includes a drive wheel, a slide comprising a first slide segment and a second slide segment, and a drive shaft receivable by the slide, wherein the drive shaft is coupled to and drivable by the drive wheel such that rotation of the drive wheel in a first rotational direction moves the drive shaft from the first slide segment to the second slide segment back to the first slide segment. The stapling tool further includes a lifting element, wherein the lifting element defines the slide and is drivable by the drive shaft, and an ejector coupled to the lifting element and drivable by the drive shaft.

A refill includes a peripheral wall defining a space capable of accommodating staples therein. The peripheral wall includes a bottom wall having a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and a third side connecting end portions of the first side and the second side, a first side wall standing from the first side, a second side wall standing from the second side and opposing the first side wall, and a front wall positioned above the third side and connecting the first side wall and the second side wall. A first opening is formed on the first side wall and the front wall to extend across a boundary between the first side wall and the front wall.

A stapling tool assembly may include a nosepiece assembly with a driver channel through which a staple is driven into a workpiece. The stapling tool assembly may also include a wire alignment contact trip with a contact foot. The contact foot may include a peripheral guide wall that defines a workpiece contact edge. The workpiece contact edge may include at least one wire alignment recess and at least one opposing wire alignment recess in the workpiece contact edge. The at least one wire alignment recess and the at least one opposing wire alignment recess can cooperate to define a first and a second wire positioning path to align the wire in two different orientations relative to the drive channel. The at least one wire alignment recess can have a first overall length that is different than a second overall length of the at least one opposing wire alignment recess.

A deck clip magazine for use with a pneumatic fastener gun and a plurality of generally T-shaped deck clips attached to one another by webbing to form a clip belt. The deck clip magazine has a housing with a channel shaped to receive the clip belt and a front end with an opening to permit egress of the leading clip from the channel. An aperture on the housing is aligned with the barrel of the pneumatic fastener gun and permits fasteners to pass therethrough to secure the generally T-shaped clips in position. The clips are aligned below the aperture by way of an inwardly biased movable stop located adjacent the opening. A cutting mechanism is aligned with the webbing and selectively actuated to sever the webbing between adjacent clips in the clip belt.

A spare staple storage device including a housing, a retaining mechanism, an end cap, a first magnet, and a second magnet. The housing having a first end, an opposing second end, and being adapted to secure to a stapler. The retaining mechanism carried by the housing and having a first end, adapted to selectively occlude a first opening at the first end of the housing, and an opposing second end. The end cap secured to the second end of the housing. The first magnet secured to the retaining mechanism at the second end of the retaining mechanism. The second magnet carried by the end cap and positioned to attract the first magnet and retain the retaining mechanism is in a closed configuration.

The nail gun indicator gives the user an alarm when the nail supply is or near depletion. The indicator beeps and a light comes on to make the user aware of the need to replenish the nail supply thus creating a more effective product with their nail gun of choice.

This invention provides an improvement as well as an important safety feature to an existing product, a standard nail gun. The Nail Gun Reload Indicator can be attached externally or can be incorporated into the design by the manufacturer.

The Nail Gun Reload Indicator is a feature that will alert the user as to the status of the nail supply in the gun. This will prevent the user from getting into a precarious situation with an inadequate supply of nails. An example would be, A carpenter on a ladder holding a heavy beam and trying to nail it in place and the nail gun is empty.

Let it be noted that for the purpose of this application, the term nail gun will apply to all pneumatic or gas driven fasteners.

A fastening tool having a latch mechanism that performs a tool-free jam release of a jammed fastener in the nosepiece. The latch mechanism includes a latch plate that is secured to the nose portion of a nosepiece assembly by a latch member and is pivotably releasable from the nose portion by a user's fingers.
