An explosive powder charge operated setting tool has a guide channel (9) for strip-shaped cartridge clips with feed members (10) and a restraining member (15) extending into the transverse cross-section of a guide channel (9) for the cartridge clips. Blocking parts (13, 14) are located at the insertion end region of the guide channel (9). The blocking parts (10, 11) are displaced outwardly from one another out of the guide channel (9) by insertion bevels (8c, 8d) on the end of the cartridge inserted first into the guide channel, so that the cartridge clip (8) can be pushed further into the guide channel (9) until it reaches the feed member (10) or the restraining member (15).

Cartridge clip for setting tool

Powder charge operated setting tool includes a barrel (11) and a closing or breech member (17), axially displaceable within a housing 1. Stops (3a, 17a) and shoulders (8b, 11e) cooperating with each other are provided in the housing (1) and on the barrel (11) as well as on the closing member (17) which limit displacement of the barrel (11) and, after an additional displacement travel, the displacement of the closing member (17) counter to the setting direction. As a result a free space is formed between the barrel (11) and the closing member (17) which permits feeding of propellant charges (15), especially in magazines, perpendicularly to the axis of the barrel.
