ABSTRACT:
A shingle gauge for use with a nail driving tool of the type having a magazine which feeds nails into a guide body to be driven through shingle elements into a roof structure and having a shingle element locating surface adjacent the guide body nose. The gauge comprises a mounting bracket fixed beneath the magazine and a gauge element slidably and pivotally supported on the bracket and shiftable therealong toward and away from the locating surface to adjust the distance therebetween to accommodate various sizes of shingle elements. A latch is attached to the gauge element and is capable of a locking engagement with the support bracket at any selected one of a plurality of predetermined positions therealong to locate and lock the gauge element at that selected position. The gauge element is pivotable between a fast position in which the latch is in locking engagement with the mounting bracket at one of the predetermined positions therealong and a second position in which the latch is out of locking engagement therewith. The gauge element is biased to its first position. The attachment between the gauge element and the latch is adjustable to provide a fine positioning adjustment of the gauge element to compensate for wear or the like.
