Abstract
A flexible rubber strip has openings slightly smaller than the shank of a power load spaced along its length. Power loads having shank and head portions are inserted through the openings up to the head portion in which position the power loads are gripped by the rubber to hold the power loads until forceably removed. The strip with power loads is contained in a box with one end of the strip protruding through an opening in the top of the box. An operator of a powder actuated tool grabs the protruded end of the strip and pulls a section of the strip from the box. He inserts the first power load into the cartridge receiving chamber of the powder actuated tool and by peeling the strip over the head portion of the power load separates the power load from the strip. The box containing the strip can be clipped to the operator's belt or contained in the pocket of an apron.
