FASTENING TOOL WITH BLIND GUIDE WORK CONTACT TIP

摘要

A blind guide work contact tip (10) for mounting to a drive probe (26) of a fastening tool (3) is shaped in a manner which allows for an angled nail placement, such as 45 degree into a workpiece. The blind guide work contact tip is a one-piece attachment which is fitted around the existing drive probe and includes a body (18) and two wings (12) which extend therefrom forming a channel (16) through which a fastener (4) passes into the workpiece. The body has a work surface (64) with a peak (15) and sloped slides adjacent each side of the peak at approximately 45 degrees. The sloped surfaces (14) allows the blind guide work contact tip to better access corners and angled spaces than previous work contact tips. The work contact tip also has a flat portion at the peak of the work surface so as to not inhibit face nailing.
