Abstract
A flywheel () can be mounted on a flywheel carriage () that can include a pair of axles (). The flywheel carriage can be movable along two pairs of guide slots () of the tool frame between a disengaged position in which the flywheel is spaced from the fastener driver (), and an engaged position in which the flywheel is engaged with the fastener driver to drive the fastener driver along a driver axis. A pair of pinch rollers () can be coupled to the tool frame and can be engageable with a pinch roller side of the driver profile that is opposite the flywheel side. A plane aligned with an axis of rotation of the flywheel and oriented perpendicular to the driver axis can be located between an axis of rotation of each of the pair of pinch rollers throughout engagement of the flywheel with the fastener driver along the longitudinal flywheel engagement length.
