FASTENER HOLDING MECHANISM

摘要

A fastener holding system for a power tool is configured to securely clamp a fastener while enabling the fastener holding system to pivot out of the way of the power tool to enable the fastener to be driven completely into a surface. The fastener holding mechanism includes a mounting mechanism configured to attach to a housing of a power tool and a holder pivotably connected to the mounting mechanism. The holder includes a holder body having a clamp configured to retain a fastener and a release lever extending away from the holder body and the clamp. The release lever is configured to engage a surface during operation of the power tool such that engagement of the release lever with the surface opens the clamp and pivots the holder away from the fastener.
