Fastener having guide rails

摘要

A fastener for securing work pieces together including a metal substrate, the fastener includes an elongated flat body having a driving head disposed at substantially right angles to the body, a point at the end opposite the head for penetrating the work pieces including the metallic substrate guide rails extend along each side edge of the elongated flat body and in a plane defined by the elongated flat body. The guide rails are adapted to fit within a pair of guide channels formed in a power tool adapted to insert the fastener through the work piece and the metallic substrate. The guide rails in the guide channel of the power tool maintain the fastener substantially perpendicular to the surface of the work piece during installation.
