Abstract:
1. A power tool comprising: a structure; a flywheel coupled to the structure; a driver that is translatable along a driver axis; and a follower assembly having an actuator and an activation arm assembly, the actuator being coupled to the activation arm assembly, the activation arm assembly being coupled to the structure and including a pinch roller and a first arm, wherein actuation of the actuator causes the pinch roller to translate toward and engage the driver to initiate driving engagement between the driver and the flywheel to thereby permit the flywheel to drive the driver; wherein the pinch roller is pivotably coupled to the first arm and rotates in a direction away from the flywheel and the driver after the driver has been driven along the driver axis by the flywheel and while the actuator is still engaged.
