A workpiece contact element for a fastener driver includes a body defining a fastener receiving region through which fasteners are fed from a magazine of the fastener driver. The body having a base surface parallel with a fastener driving axis of the fastener driver. The workpiece contact element also includes a fastener guiding portion disposed forward of the fastener receiving region and extending in a direction of the fastener driving axis and a tip retainer includes a longitudinal protrusion and a pair of opposed lateral protrusions. The longitudinal protrusion extends from a forwardmost end of the body, and the opposed lateral protrusions are position on opposite lateral sides of the body adjacent the forwardmost end. The fastener guiding portion includes a platform extending above the base surface of the body and spaced rearwardly from the forwardmost end of the body.

Workpiece contact element for a powered fastener driver

A pneumatic fastener driver operable in a single sequential mode and a bump-fire mode, and includes a housing, a nosepiece, a trigger moveable between a default position and a depressed position, a contact arm movable relative to the nosepiece between an extended position and a retracted position, and a timeout mechanism operable in the bump-fire mode to inhibit the drive cycle from being initiated in response to inactivity of the contact arm over a preset time interval defined by unwinding of a mainspring that is initially wound in response to the trigger being actuated from the default position to the depressed position. The pneumatic fastener driver also includes a counting assembly having a female barrel pivotably coupled to a pivot shaft of the trigger and driven by the mainspring and a lockout linkage coupled to the female barrel that is capable of interfering with a portion of the trigger.

Powered fastener driver

A pneumatic fastener driver is operable in a single sequential mode and a bump-fire mode. The pneumatic fastener driver includes a housing, a nosepiece extending from the housing from which fasteners are ejected, and a trigger moveable between a default position, in which a drive cycle is inhibited from initiating, and a depressed position, in which the drive cycle is permitted to be initiated. The pneumatic fastener driver further includes a contact arm movable relative to the nosepiece between an extended position and a retracted position, and a timeout mechanism operable in the bump-fire mode to inhibit the drive cycle from being initiated in response to inactivity of the contact arm over a preset time interval that begins once the trigger is actuated from the default position to the depressed position.
