A magazine-style wrench that laterally feeds multiple nuts down a magazine-style rail into a hexagonal head for dispensing and tightening. As a bolt is inserted into the hexagonal opening the threads of the bolt mesh into those of the nuts. The compressional force provided by a rectangular spring provides the necessary force to push the row of nuts forward and prevent the nut held in the opening from unintentionally falling out of the tool. The tool can be used to repeatedly tighten nuts onto bolts without personal handling. When out of nuts, the tool can be refilled and used again.

A fastening tool includes: a bit holding portion which detachably holds a driver bit and is configured to rotate in a circumferential direction of the driver bit and move in an axial direction of the driver bit; a first motor configured to rotate the bit holding portion; a second motor configured to move the bit holding portion along the axial direction; and a control unit configured to control a position of the bit holding portion along the axial direction by the number of rotations of the second motor. The control unit is configured to control a moving speed of a screw moved by rotation of the first motor or a rotation speed of the first motor.

An installation tool and related methods are provided. The tool can pull a strip of collated fasteners along a collated fastener path to a guide, where individual fasteners are sequentially separated from the strip and advanced into a workpiece. The tool can include a tension feeder located downstream of the guide. The tension feeder is configured to apply tension to the strip between the guide and a leading end of the strip. The tool can include a driveshaft configured to attach to a conventional drive tool chuck or a drive tool having hexagonal type drive components. The guide can be one piece and replaceable, with a guide body and a guide head. A strip slot can be defined in the same to align a fastener head with a backstop and facilitate entry of a fastener shank in a feed slot. Related methods of use are provided.

A device for driving fastening elements into an underlying surface has a mount for a fastening element, having a through-passage for a driving-in element, by which a fastening element in the mount is driven into the underlying surface in a driving-in direction, having a strip lead-through, which defines a strip plane and a transporting direction and is intended for a fastening-element bearing strip core, having a supporting element for supporting the strip and/or a fastening element, and having a supporting spring, wherein the supporting element can be deflected transversely to the driving-in direction, counter to a force of the supporting spring, when a fastening element is moved in the driving-in direction by the driving-in element in order for the fastening element to be separated from the strip.

A fastener-installation system is described that includes a driver to drive a fastener into a structure and a fastener feeder to load the fastener into a loaded position of the driver. The fastener feeder includes a fastener magazine to hold a plurality of fasteners. The fastener-installation system further includes a driver head having a plurality of jaws moveable between a closed position and an expanded position. In the closed position, the plurality of jaws form a piercing tip to pierce material of the structure. Further, the jaws spread apart the material of the structure when the jaws move from the closed position to the expanded position to create a path through the material through which the fastener is driven.

A screw rope is configured to hold fixed portions of threaded parts of respective screws so as to be obliquely disposed at predetermined parallel intervals and at a predetermined inclination angle by a belt-shaped member which runs in a length direction and binding strips which are provided on the rear surface side of the belt-shaped member at predetermined intervals, to continuously form a guide groove on the front surface side of the belt-shaped member along a length direction thereof, to dispose many upper recessed parts at a position above the guide groove in a scattered state and over the entire length on the front surface side of the belt-shaped member and to dispose many lower recessed parts at a position under the guide groove in the scattered state and over the entire length.

A drywall screw gun multitool (10) incorporates a screw gun on a first end and a cutter (60) tool on an opposing end. A drywall can turn the tool around to switch from the screw gun tool to the cutter (60) tool, thereby saving time and money in drywall installation. The drywall screw gun multitool (10) comprises an electric motor (50) that spins both the screw gun and the cutter (60). A drywall screw gun multitool (10) may also include a dust collector assembly (80) that draws air in from the cutter end (26) of the tool and through a filter (84). A drywall screw gun multitool (10) may also include a light 33 to aid the user in low light conditions and a stud finder (39). The cutter (60) tool and dust collector may be detachably attachable to the housing (20) of the multitool.

A powered fastening tool (10) includes a fastener driver (28), a driver return system (64) and a driver retention system (66); the fastener driver (28) is configured to move from a home position to an extended position to drive a fastener (F) into a workpiece; the driver return system (64) is configured to return the fastener driver (28) from the extended position to the home position, the driver return system (64) includes an electric motor (76), a conveyor (80) driven by the electric motor (76) and a pawl (82) attached to the conveyor (80) and configured to engage the fastener driver (28); the driver retention system (66) is configured to retain the fastener driver (28) in the home position and the driver retention system (66) including a first detent spring (110) configured to engage the fastener driver (28) and thereby inhibit the fastener driver (28) from moving out of the home position.
