A magazine (22) for a fastener driving tool (12) in which the magazine can be readlly spaced from the tool housing (14, 16) in the event a fastener (24) becomes jammed in the nosepiece (18) of the tool (12) to permit removal or the fastener (24). The magazine (22) further includes a mechanism (60) whereby when a minimum number of fasteners (24) is present in the magazine (22), or it is desired to render the tool inoperative, the fastener follower (26) will engage a lockout mechanism (60) which will prevent firing of the tool by blocking movement of a work-sensitive probe mechanism (36) which must be moved in order to fire the tool. |
