Abstract: A stapling tool which includes an anvil assembly that is pivotally mounted and which can be positioned to secure items together through which a staple received from a magazine assembly is driven. The tool is trigger-operated and sequentially positions the anvil assembly to retain the items, after which a motor is actuated to drive the staple to connect the items. Following the driving action, the anvil assembly is removed to permit assembly of the connected items.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a nail driving tool preferably operable in pneumatical manner, comprising a magazine for nails composed to form straight rows or straight strips, which nails are successively forced from the front end of a guide, possibly corresponding to the staggered arrangement of the nails, and obliquely terminating into a drive-out channel via a lateral inlet channel into a presenting composition for being, e.g., pneumatically forced out of the drive-out channel. For increasing the magazine capacity while maintaining a handy volume, it is provided that the magazine be formed as a box-type magazine of a width suitable for accommodating two or more nail strips or rows in side-by-side relationship and that the nail strips or rows can be successively forced in a direction normal to the planes of the nail strips or rows into alignment with the inlet channel of the drive-out channel.
