Abstract:
1. A fastener driving tool having a reciprocating driver blade and a nosepiece, said tool being configured for sequentially feeding fasteners to said nosepiece for engagement by said driver blade for subsequent driving into a workpiece, each fastener defining a plane, said tool comprising: a deformation formation in said nosepiece configured for engaging a portion of each fastener so that upon impact of the fastener by said driver blade, the fastener is driven into the workpiece and, through momentum of the driver blade, the engaged fastener portion is deformed by impact of the fastener portion upon said deformation formation in a direction transverse to said plane to attain a deformed condition configured for providing a clamping force upon a workpiece material being secured to the workpiece; wherein said driver blade has an impact edge with a recessed portion configured for accommodating said deformation formation.
