A bracket support assembly connected to the lower end of the head of a staple gun. The support assembly includes a U-shaped plate member having a web portion that functions to longitudinally align the driveway of the gun with a fastener-receiving opening in the mounting bracket and a pair of opposite spaced apart leg portions which function to laterally align the driveway with respect to the fastener-receiving openings of the mounting bracket. A flat support plate extending across the lower end of the U-shaped plate member acts to support the mounting bracket during a fastener driving operation.
A delivery tool is provided for driving fastening devices, for example, U-shaped fastening devices which mount tubing to a surface. The delivery tool has a pivoting structure, including a driving member and a base member. The delivery tool includes a movable ram which is axially guided within the base member to maintain an orientation perpendicular to the surface to drive the fastening devices in a straight manner. A pneumatic impact mechanism is housed within the driving member to assist the ram. The impact mechanism has a concave force delivery member shaped to contact the ram at a generally radial orientation relative thereto, thereby optimally delivering the impact forces to the ram regardless of the angular position of the driving member relative to the base member.
A power tool having a power tool body and a tool that is movably coupled to the power tool body. The power tool also includes a joystick control coupled to the power tool body, wherein the joystick control is operable as a user interface for affecting the operation of at least one function of the tool.
