Abstract
A combustion powered tool for driving fasteners including a housing with a main chamber. Within the main chamber is a power source having a combustion end and a lower end. The combustion end of the power source drives a rod. Fasteners are sequentially fed to the rod for driving engagement with the rod. Depending from the lower end of the power source is a nosepiece having a tool end, and a workpiece end opposite the tool end. The nosepiece is configured for receiving the rod and for guiding the rod to a workpiece. To protect the nosepiece, a protective shield envelops the nosepiece.
