Abstract: A tool for fastening an insulator to a support, the insulator including an insulator body having a front and back, a formation for supporting a barrier, and at least one mounting formation having a front and a back by which the insulator is attached to a support, the back of the mounting formation in use being proximal to the support, at least one of the at least one mounting formation including at least one passage extending transversely through the mounting formation from the front to the back of the mounting formation, and at least one alignment member, the tool including a driver blade for driving a staple, and at least one passage alignment member, in use the at least one passage alignment member aligning at least one passage of the insulator, with one leg of a staple.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for frame fabrication includes at least one nail gun (15) adapted to fire nails substantially in a selected plane of the frame (2). The nail gun (15) translates vertically and is configured with a control input device (19) activated by an operator which extends substantially across the width of the frame fabrication apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for frame fabrication includes at least one nail gun adapted to fire nails substantially in a selected plane of the frame and a sensor and a corresponding interlock. The sensor is mounted on the at least one nail gun and the sensor and corresponding interlock is adapted to provide a sensor signal, detect the presence or absence of a return sensor signal, and prevent firing of nails from the at least one nail gun in response to the presence or absence of the return sensor signal.
