Abstract
A magazine for use with a fastener driving tool is adapted for feeding a fastener stick having fasteners connected in series into a driver guide. The magazine has a magazine body and a slide door. The magazine body has a bottom defining a guide surface for the fastener stick. The slide door is mounted on the magazine body and is slidable in a feeding direction of the fastener stick relative to the magazine body between a closed position and an open position. The slide door in the closed position and the bottom of said magazine body cooperate to define a fastener storing chamber for storing the fastener stick therebetween. The fastener storing chamber is opened to the outside when the slide door is at the open position. A pusher serves to push the fastener stick in the fastener storing chamber in the fastener feeding direction. A directing member serves to direct the rear portion of the fastener stick toward the bottom of said magazine body prior to pushing the fastener stick by the pusher when the slide door is moved from the open position to the closed position.
