Abstract:
1. A fastener device, comprising: a body that includes a driver for driving fasteners; a handle coupled to the body; a contact safety having a sliding member configured to reciprocate relative to the body, and a rotatable member configured to rotate relative to the sliding member between a first orientation and a second orientation; a trigger member configured to pivot relative to the fastener device, the trigger member including a front surface configured to contact the rotatable member; wherein the rotatable member has a first shoulder that engages the front surface of the trigger member when the rotatable member is in the first orientation to limit forward movement of the trigger to achieve contact actuation of the fastener device and a second shoulder that engages the front surface of the trigger member when the rotatable member is in the second orientation to enable greater forward movement of the trigger to achieve sequential actuation of the fastener device.
