The power tool comprises a first power tool portion having a rotatable collar and a first locking member arranged to be actuated by the rotatable collar and a second power tool portion having a second locking member. The rotatable collar is rotatable about an axis for actuating the first locking member to removably engage the first locking member with the second locking member, thereby releasably locking the first power tool portion with the second power tool portion along the axis.

Disclosed is a magazine attachment for a device for driving fastening elements into a support, comprising an attachment part which has a connecting region for connecting the magazine attachment to the device, and a pressing part which has a contact region for placing the magazine attachment against the support. The attachment part and the pressing part are held together in such a way as to be movable along a movement path which is delimited by a normal position and a pressing position. An outer contour of the pressing part has three contact points which define two half-lines forming a right angle. In the normal position and in the pressing position, the attachment part and the pressing part are entirely located within a volume formed by the right angle and a straight line that intersects the two half-lines at the vertex of the right angle.

A band reeling device for use with a tooling machine (100) comprising a base member (2) arranged to be fixed relative to the tooling machine (100) and a reeling member (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60) arranged to rotate relative to the base member (2). The reeling member comprising a band locking mechanism (42, 48) arranged for locking of a band (110) which at operation of the tooling machine (100) is fed from this tooling machine. Thereby, when operating the tooling machine (110), the band (110) rolls up onto the reeling member so that the band does not end up on the floor next to the machine. Thereby, the inconvenience and even the danger of the operator being disturbed or falling over consumed bands is avoided.

A fastener installation tool and related method are provided for installing fasteners in boards. The tool can include a feed mechanism that automatically and sequentially feeds collated fasteners to a nose assembly. The nose assembly can include a guide having an alignment projection extending downwardly from the guide, and configured to engage a board corner and/or side surface, so as to align an angled bore through which fasteners are guided with the board corner and or side surface. The nose assembly can include a magnetic element located adjacent a path on which the collated fasteners are advanced. The magnetic element can exert a magnetic force on an individual fastener, aligning it for precise entry into the angled bore. The nose assembly can include a guide pocket to positively constrain a fastener as it rotates to ensure a desired advancement trajectory. A related method of installation is provided.

A magazine is configured to be removably coupled to a power tool housing of a power tool. The magazine has a housing configured to be rotatably attachable to the power tool housing. An advancing mechanism is received in the magazine housing, and is configured to advance a strip of collated fasteners into position to be driven by the power tool. An indexing ring has a plurality of recesses and is configured to be non-rotatably attached to the power tool housing. A detent is biased to removably engage one of the plurality of recesses, and is configured to be non-rotatably attached to the magazine housing. The detent removably engages the recesses to allow for indexed tool-free rotation of the magazine housing relative to the power tool housing.

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 magazine strip that is fed to a drive-in device via a chute extending at an angle to the drive-in direction is disclosed. A deflector consisting of tongues is provided at the outlet end of the magazine guide, which deflector deflects the magazine strip away from the straight-ahead direction and directs the magazine strip quasi upward such that the magazine strip either extends perpendicularly to the drive-in direction or even back in parallel with the insertion chute, depending on the extent of the deflection. In order that the magazine strip follows this motion, the magazine strip has hinges, the axes of which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the magazine strip, and thus, at an angle to the screws located in the retainers of the magazine strip.

A magazine type screwing device and a screw supplementary device are provided. The screwing device includes a screwdriver bit with a protrusion part, a storing portion, and a screw stopping portion. The storing portion includes a tubular structure and a slide rail, which are connected with each other. The screwdriver bit is installed in the tubular structure. The screws are disposed within the slide rail. After the screwdriver bit is moved within the tubular structure in a first direction and then the screwdriver bit is moved within the tubular structure in a second direction, one of the screws is detached from the screw stopping portion and introduced into the tubular structure. The screw supplementary device includes a screw transferring portion and a screw feeding portion. The screw transferring portion includes a first conveying track, a sensing element over the first conveying track, a gear, and a first motor.

A positioning assembly for a driving system, the assembly having a first jaw and a second jaw, the first jaw fixed to a driver guide tube, the second jaw fixed to the first jaw to allow one end of the first jaw to rotate away from the second jaw about a connection point, each jaw having an interior channel. The interior channel of the first jaw has an arcuate cross-section. The interior channel of the second jaw is formed from a plurality of walls including an arcuate upper wall and a sub-channel having cross-section formed by a base surface and two side walls, each side wall angled with respect to the base surface. The apparatus also includes a locking member configured to engage the second jaw when the second jaw is rotated away from the first jaw and retain the second jaw in a rotated position.
