Abstract
An improved nail transfer device includes an inlet and an outlet with a transfer passage disposed therebetween. A cycling indexer transfers nails one at a time from the inlet to the outlet. A first magnet draws a nail from the inlet to the transfer passage and a second magnet adjacent to the outlet dislodges the nails from the transfer passage and loads the nail into the automatic nail gun.
