Abstract
A fastener driving tool capable of locating a preformed hole in a first workpiece and driving a nail therethrough and into a second workpiece to attach the first workpiece to the second workpiece. The tool comprises a body having a main portion and a handle portion, a guide body, a drive track in the guide body, a driver axially shiftable in the drive track, a fastener containing magazine, a magazine cover, a manual trigger, and a trigger enabling safety. The magazine cover is supported by the guide body and the handle portion of the tool and contains the magazine. The magazine communicates with the drive track and is supported by a slide captively mounted on the guide body and axially shiftable therealong. The magazine is shiftable within the magazine cover in directions parallel to the drive track axis between a lower position wherein the forwardmost fastener in the drive track extends below the nose of the guide body serving as a hole finding probe, and an upper position wherein the safety, attached to the sleeve, enables the trigger and the guide body nose rests upon the first workpiece with the drive track aligned with the pre-formed hole and the tool is ready to be actuated by the trigger.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
