Abstract: A power driven percussion tool is provided with a rotatable magazine block formed with a plurality of bores about the axis of rotation of the magazine block and is loaded with fasteners such as rivets or nails respectively retained in the bores. When the magazine block is stepwise rotated about its axis the bores are successively brought into alignment with the direction in which the fastener can be driven by a reciprocating hammer. The percussion tool is further provided with safety means for disabling the tool when the tool is not in use or being re-loaded with fasteners.
