Rafter hook for fastening tool

摘要

A fastening tool rafter hook system (10) supporting a power tool (12) includes a power tool round section (26) proximate to a tool handle (20). The round section has multiple pairs of indexing apertures (54,56), each positioned incrementally from a successive pair. A two piece rafter hook system (10) includes: a first piece having a rafter hook band (28) with a semi-circular band portion (30) positioned in direct contact with the round section; and a second piece defining an "L" shaped rafter hook (40). The rafter hook includes: a first hook portion (42) having first and second indexing bolts connected to the first hook portion; and a second hook portion (48) oriented normal to the first portion. The first and second indexing bolts (50, 52) create detent connections when engaged with the indexing apertures. Connection of the first and second indexing bolts to any pair of indexing apertures releasably retains the rafter hook at selectable predefined orientations on the round section.
