Abstract
A fastener cap driving tool with a pressurized gas storage chamber that uses that pressurized gas as a gas spring to quickly force a piston and a driver into contact with a fastener. The pressurized gas is not vented to atmosphere, but is instead reused, and a motor powers a lifter to return the piston and the driver for the next driving stroke. The tool has a fastener magazine, and a separate cap magazine which includes an additional motor that powers a self-reversing lead screw. The lead screw acts as a feed pawl, and advances a collated strip of caps from the cap magazine towards an exit end of the tool. During a driving stroke, one fastener is driven through one cap, securing both to a workpiece.
