A device for dispensing individual plastic fasteners from a continuous supply of 0.1875 inch pitch ladder stock includes a head assembly that is designed to receive the supply of ladder stock, sever an individual fastener from the supply ladder stock and eject the individual fastener during a single stroke of its actuation cycle. The device also includes a stepper motor for driving the head assembly through its actuation cycle, a DC power switching supply for regulating the power supplied to the stepper motor from an AC input power source, and a controller for collecting historical data relating to usage of the device and for regulating operation of the stepper motor. The controller is programmed to enable certain operational characteristics, such as stroke speed and mode, to be regulated through a user interface which includes a screen display and a plurality of control buttons.

A one-piece guide tool for use in guiding a harnessing device underneath a plurality of wires disposed on a harness board. The guide tool comprises an elongated body having a top surface on which the plurality of wires can be seated, a pair of sides and an elongated slot. The elongated slot extends down from the top surface and includes an entry end and an exit end. The elongated slot has a depth sufficient to enable a harnessing device to be guided into the elongated slot from the entry end, underneath the plurality of wires seated on the top surface and then out through the exit end without slipping out of the slot. Each of the sides of the elongated body includes a tab for mounting the guide tool onto the harness board.

An emergency temporary door cover for covering a broken glass door pane until the broken glass can be replaced, comprising a cover sheet which is foldable for easy storage when not in use, a hook extending from the top of the sheet for suspending the sheet from the top of the door, upper and lower straps extending from the sides of the sheet, and bendable wire supported by the straps and adapted to take a set, so that the installer may hook the sheet to the top of the door and bend the wire around the side edges of the door to hold the cover sheet in place, and may do so while standing in front of the door. Then the installer walks to the rear of the door while the hook and side wires hold the cover in place, and ties the straps across the rear of the door to secure the cover to the door until the broken pane can be replaced.
