An obliquely collated strip of brads (100) useable in an angled magazine (50) of a fastener driving tool (10), each brad (30) having a head (70) on one end and a point (80) on an opposing end. The point (80) of each brad (30) of the collated strip (100) has a tip (90) defined by converging facets (91,92,93,94) to form an edge (96) or surface (91) at an acute angle relative to an axis of the brad (30). The edge (96) or surface (91) of each brad forms a substantially continuous edge (110) of the collated strip (100). The head (70) of each brad (30) of the collated strip (100) is arranged step-wise relative to the head of an adjacent brad (30). The step-wise arrangement of heads (70) form a stepped edge (120) substantially parallel to the substantially continuous edge (110) of the collated strip (100). The head of each brad (30) slopes at an angle relative to the axis of the brad (30), with the angle of the head (70) sloping oppositely relative to the angle of the substantially continuous edge (110) of the collated strip (100). <IMAGE> |
