A fastener feeder for feeding fasteners that have a head and a shaft including: a substantially stationary bin, an inline feeder, with a feed track located higher than an upper level of fasteners in the bin and sloped downwardly and operably connected to a vibrator such that the vibrator vibrates the feed track to cause the fasteners to drop into the feed track so that the head is supported by the feed track and the shaft dangles below the head and to cause fasteners to travel down a slope in a queue; a lift gate to elevate a small number of fasteners from the plurality of fasteners in the bin to the feed track; and an escapement at a lower end of the in line feeder capable of isolating a single fastener from the lower end of the queue.
