ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is concerned with a nail holding and directing device comprising a handle and an elongated member connected to the handle and having a longitudinally extending bore into which an end portion of the nail may be coaxially inserted at one end of the member. A striker rod is slidably mounted in the bore for reciprocating movement therein; the rod has an outer end extending beyond the other end of the member and an inner end adapted to abut against the end portion of the nail. Gripping fingers are mounted at the aforesaid one end of the member and are operable selectively between open and closed positions so as to respectively release and slidably hold the nail between its ends while guiding same when a striking force is applied to the outer end of the striker rod for forcing the nail out of the bore and into a structure. The device further includes a spring normally urging the gripping fingers towards the closed position, as well as actuating structure operatively connected to the gripping fingers for moving same to the open position against the closing force of the spring. The nail holding and directing device permits a nail to gain access to confining locations and still be accurately directed into a structure at such locations. By eliminating the heretofore requirement of holding a nail between one's fingers, the injuries caused to the finger tips by inadvertent hammer blows are also eliminated.
