Abstract
A nosepiece for temporarily supporting a fastener in front of a fastener installation tool is disclosed. The nosepiece comprises a split support provided by a plurality of support members which define between them a cavity which receives the fastener. The fastener is supported peripherally by the support members which can move to allow a fastener to move through said members in a forwards direction, from the back to the front of the nosepiece to allow installation of the fastener. The support members also restrain undesired movement of the fastener in the cavity in the reverse direction (i.e. from the front to the back of the nosepiece) as well as undesired movement in the forwards direction.
