A corrugated-typed fastener configured to couple a first substrate to a second substrate includes a bridge and a plurality of ribs, the ribs having a plurality of flutes. The flutes, and possibly the ribs, may be angled inwardly to form an apex disposed within the width of the fastener and pointing towards a center of the fastener. The ribs may extend outward from the bridge towards opposing ends of the fastener, and the ends may be at a different height than the bridge when viewing the fastener from the side. Alternatively, the ends may be at the same height as the bridge and also may be generally centered on the height of the fastener.

Fastener

Attachments for a fastening tool are configured to position the fastening tool raceway for driving a fastener from the tool into a workpiece at a desired location. The attachments include work contact elements including a pair of surfaces for contact with two surfaces of the workpiece to properly position the tool raceway.
