Abstract
A powder driven tool includes a housing including a powder cartridge and a piston within a barrel. A guide member attaches to the barrel and cradles a support device. The guide member includes a wall portion having a thickness greater than other portions of the guide member. Ignition of the powder cartridge causes the piston to move within the barrel and drive the support device. The wall portion resists barrel climb as the support device is driven into an object.
