An assembly of fasteners for use in a power fastener driving tool includes a number of fasteners having elongated shanks held in spaced apart relation by a pair of strips of frangible plastic material. Each strip includes a series of sleeves holding shanks of the fasteners and a series of spacer segments integrally joining the sleeves. The strip closer to the fastener heads is weaker than the strip closer to the fastener points. As an end fastener is driven from the assembly, the sleeve of the weaker strip associated with the next fastener to be driven is permitted to fracture, while the sleeve of the stronger strip remains intact.
