Abstract
A cordless nailer is provided having a nosepiece assembly with improved features. The nosepiece assembly includes a driver retention feature that is provided to retain a drive blade from accidentally escaping the nailer. The nosepiece assembly includes a nosepiece, a nosepiece cover coupled to the nosepiece and moveable between a first closed position and a second open position. The nosepiece cover includes a surface formed on an end thereof, wherein at least one of the nosepiece and nosepiece cover forms a channel. A driver is disposed within the channel, wherein as the nosepiece cover is moved from the first closed position to the second open position, the surface of the nosepiece cover prevents the driver from moving from the channel.
