  • Publication number: 20030146262
    Abstract: The invention disclosed and taught herein relates to a powered fastener driving tool particularly suited for driving straight line fasteners, such as nails or straight line pins into a work piece. A hand held fastener driving tool as particularly described herein, may be used to drive straight line pins, nails and/or staples into a work piece. A magnet is placed within the fastener driving head that magnetically attracts the lead fastener of a soldier course strip of fasteners thereby securing the lead fastener, and trailing strip of fasteners, within the driving tool thereby preventing the possibility of the tool jamming by a fastener not aligning horizontal within the tool and/or its supply magazine.
