ABSTRACT:
An explosively actuated tool for driving a fastener into a substrate is mountable to the end of a pole-like handle to permit manipulation and actuation of the tool from a remote position. Actuation of the tool occurs by pushing the forward end of a barrel of the tool against the substrate using the handle and then pushing forwardly the handle which loads and then releases a tiring mechanism of the tool to fire the charge. The tool has a safety lock device for inhibiting loading of the firing mechanism sufficiently to initiate firing unless the tool is orientated upwardly into a vertical or near vertical orientation.
