ABSTRACT:
A fastener driving tool includes a housing, a nose assembly having a fastener passage configured to allow fasteners to be advanced therethrough, and a safety contact assembly movable in relation to the nose assembly between a disable position and an enable position. A magazine assembly is configured to supply fasteners toward the nose assembly, and a driver is configured to cause a fastener located in the fastener passage to be advanced within the nose assembly. The nose assembly includes (i) a base member defining at least a portion of the fastener passage and has a first recess and a second recess which are spaced apart from each other, (ii) a first protection insert located in the first recess, and (iii) a second protection insert located in the second recess. The base member defines a leading side surface and a trailing side surface. The leading side surface defines an ejection orifice that is aligned with the fastener passage. The leading side surface defines a first opening aligned with the first recess and a second opening aligned with the second recess, and the trailing side surface defines a third opening aligned with the first recess and a fourth opening aligned with the second recess. The first protection insert extends through the first opening and the third opening, and the second protection insert extends through the second opening and the fourth opening.
