Abstract

See full text

A portable hand-held fastener driving tool of the type which tends to keep the driver element better aligned with the head of the fastener while it's being driven. A biasing spring in the fastener track skews the directional path of the fastener as it is being driven, but the biasing spring does not noticeably affect the path of the driver element, thereby compensating for the slight movement of the tool (and driver) due to the tool's recoil. In an alternative embodiment, a magnet is used rather than a biasing spring, to skew the direction of the fastener as it is being shot by the tool.
