A powered fastener driver may include a nosepiece assembly defining a driver channel extending along the driving axis, the nosepiece assembly including a nosepiece member defining an opening by which the fasteners of the first length and the fasteners of the second length pass from the magazine into the driver channel, and a nail guide assembly including a nail guide member defining a nail guide surface, the nail guide member being pivotable relative to the nosepiece member about a pivot axis between a first position at which the nail guide surface partially closes the opening, and a second position at which the nail guide surface is not aligned with the opening, and a biasing member biasing the nail guide member toward the first position.

Abstract: A fastener driver includes a magazine having a magazine cover and a magazine body. The magazine cover includes a top surface having an opening defined therein. The magazine body is slidably movable relative to the magazine cover from a closed position to an open position. A latch is coupled to the top surface of the magazine cover and extends through the opening in the top surface of the magazine cover. The latch includes a latch projection that defines a first contact surface. A pusher body is slidably coupled to the magazine body and includes an arm member that defines a second contact surface. A biasing member biases the pusher toward a nosepiece when the magazine body is in the closed position. The first and second contact surfaces are engageable to hold the pusher body in a latched position when the magazine body is in the open position.

A magazine is configured to receive fasteners. The magazine includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a top side, a bottom side opposite the top side, and a support member extending from the top side and positioned adjacent the housing. The battery support portion extends between the handle portion and the magazine. A printed circuit board is positioned within the battery support portion and includes a controller configured to receive an input signal when the workpiece contact assembly is moved to the retracted position.

Abstract: A fastener driver may include an inner cylinder centrally defining an inner cylinder axis. A fastener driver may include a piston positioned within the inner cylinder. A fastener driver may include a driver blade coupled to the piston and movable therewith between a ready position and a driven position. A fastener driver may include a storage tank including a large portion centrally defining a large portion axis, the large portion surrounding at least a portion of the inner cylinder. A fastener driver may include a housing supporting the storage tank and including a handle portion, the handle portion defining a handle portion axis extending transverse to the inner cylinder axis, wherein the inner cylinder axis extends within a dividing plane that centrally and longitudinally divides the inner cylinder into a first half and a second half.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver including a housing, an inner frame positioned within the housing, and a workpiece contact assembly coupled to the housing and movable from an extended position to a retracted position in response to contact with a workpiece. The workpiece contact assembly includes a biasing element that biases the workpiece contact assembly into the extended position. The workpiece contact assembly is engageable with the inner frame in response to an applied force that moves the workpiece contact assembly beyond the retracted position.

Abstract: A power tool is disclosed and includes a housing and a motor disposed within the housing. The power tool further includes a first blade and a second blade movable relative to the first blade by the motor. During operation, a cutting stroke length of the first blade relative to the second blade is selectively adjustable based on a direction of rotation of the motor.

Abstract: A fastener driver includes a housing defining a head portion and a handle portion, a drive mechanism positioned within the housing, and a firing mechanism. The firing mechanism includes a piston, a driver blade attached to the piston, a biasing member having a first end supported within the piston and a second end supported by the head portion, and a damper positioned between the firing mechanism and the head portion of the housing. The damper configured to attenuate one or more of noise or vibration from the firing mechanism as the driver blade moves from the top dead center position toward the bottom dead center position.

Abstract: An orbital sander includes a housing, a motor within housing, the motor including a motor shaft defining a motor axis, an eccentric drive unit coupled to the motor shaft to convert rotation of the motor shaft to an orbit motion around the motor axis, a battery receptacle for receiving a battery pack, a backing pad coupled to the eccentric drive unit for orbital motion about the motor axis, and a dust collection assembly adjacent the backing pad for directing dust away from the backing pad. The orbital sander, including the housing, the motor, the eccentric drive unit, the battery receptacle, the backing pad, and the dust collection assembly, defines a center of gravity CGROS located on a first side of the motor axis adjacent the battery receptacle. The dust collection assembly defines a center of gravity CGDCA on a second side of the motor axis opposite the first side.

Abstract: An insulated staple includes a staple having a crown extending between a pair of legs and an insulator having an insulator bridge extending between a pair of insulator legs. The insulator having a channel extending from an end of one of the insulator legs to an end of the other of the insulator legs. The staple is at least partially received in the channel. In absence of the staple, a width of the channel at the insulator legs is less than a thickness of the staple legs to provide a friction fit between the staple legs and the insulator.

Abstract: A fastener driver includes a housing defining a head portion and a handle portion, a drive mechanism positioned within the housing, and a firing mechanism. The firing mechanism includes a primary guide member supported within the head portion of the housing, a secondary guide member spaced from the primary guide member and supported within the head portion of the housing, a piston slidable along the primary guide member and the secondary guide member, a driver blade attached to the piston and configured to be movable along a drive axis, and a biasing member configured to move the piston and the driver blade from a top dead center (TDC) position toward a bottom dead center (BDC) position. A lifter assembly is operated by the drive mechanism to return the piston and the driver blade towards the TDC position, against the bias of the biasing member.
