ABSTRACT:
A manually operated fastener driving device including first and second arm assemblies, each of the arm assemblies having a distal portion and a proximal portion, the proximal portion of the first arm assembly being pivotally coupled to the proximal portion of the second arm assembly; a fastener capsule associated with the first arm assembly and being constructed and arranged at the distal portion thereof so as to be movable between an inoperative position and an operative position; a plurality of fasteners carried by the first arm assembly, each fastener being constructed and arranged to be individually received within the fastener capsule, the first arm assembly including a first actuator constructed and arranged to move the fastener capsule from its inoperative position to its operative position; a plurality of fastener receptacles carried by the second arm assembly, a leading receptacle of the plurality of receptacles being selectively disposed to receive and engage a fastener; and a handle assembly coupled to the proximal portions of the first and second arm assemblies, the handle assembly being cooperable with the first actuator such that manual actuation of the handle assembly (1) moves the fastener capsule with a fastener therein from its inoperative position to its operative position and (2) moves the distal portions of the first and second arm assemblies towards each other so as to retain the fastener within the leading receptacle.
