A nose assembly of a fastener driving tool is disclosed for facilitating the removal of any jammed fasteners, which become lodged in the nose assembly. The nose assembly has a front and back plate pivotally connected to define therebetween a drive track. The back plate is secured to a housing structure adapted to drive a fastener from a drive track into a workpiece. A magazine assembly for storing a strip of the fasteners is adapted to feed the leading fastener into the drive track. In its operative position, the leading fastener within the magazine assembly is positioned in the drive track abuting the front plate. To remove any jammed fastener, the front plate is pivoted to an inoperative position to expose the jammed fastener in the drive track for easy removal.
