Abstract: A fastener driver includes a housing, a cylinder supported by the housing, and a moveable piston positioned within the cylinder. A driver blade is attached to the piston and movable therewith between a top-dead-center (TDC) position and a driven or bottom-dead-center (BDC) position. The driver blade includes a body portion extending along a longitudinal axis, and a tip portion configured to contact a fastener. The tip portion is bisected by a central axis that is parallel with the longitudinal axis such that the tip portion is laterally offset relative to the body portion.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver includes a housing defining cylinder support portion, a drive unit support portion, and a handle portion that is spaced apart from the drive unit support portion. The handle portion defines a handle axis. A piston is movable within a cylinder from a TDC position to a driven or BDC position. A driver blade is attached to the piston for movement therewith along a driving axis from the TDC position toward the BDC position for driving a fastener into a workpiece. A lifter is operable to move the piston and driver blade, in unison, from the BDC position toward the TDC position. A drive unit is supported by the drive unit support portion and operably coupled to the lifter. The drive unit includes a motor having first output shaft that extends along a motor axis. The motor is positioned below the handle. The handle axis and the motor axis intersect the driving axis.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver includes a driver blade movable from a top-dead-center position to a bottom-dead-center position for driving a fastener into a workpiece, a drive unit for providing torque to move the driver blade toward the top-dead-center position, and a rotary lifter engageable with the driver blade. The rotary lifter having a body and a drive pin coupled to the body. A roller is rotatably coupled to the drive pin and includes a non-cylindrical outer peripheral surface defining a plurality of engagement sections. A tooth of the driver blade is configured to engage one of the engagement sections when moving the driver blade from the bottom-dead-center position toward the top-dead-center position.

The lifter having a body and a drive pin coupled to the body. A roller is positioned on the drive pin and engages with a tooth of the driver blade when moving the driver blade from the bottom-dead-center position toward the top-dead-center position. The roller includes a first engagement section that receives an end portion of the tooth and a second engagement section. An engagement member engages the second engagement section for aligning the first engagement section of the roller with the end portion of the tooth to facilitate meshing between the end portion of the tooth and the roller.

Abstract: A fastener driver includes a pusher assembly slidably coupled to a magazine assembly. The pusher assembly includes a first portion and a second portion that are selectively movable relative to each other. The pusher assembly is adjustable between a first state in which the first portion and the second portion are configured to move together in unison toward the channel, and a second state in which the first portion moves relative to the second portion toward the channel. A dry-fire lockout assembly includes a blocking member coupled to the magazine assembly or the nosepiece assembly, and a lockout member selectively engageable with the blocking member for moving the blocking member from a first position and a second position. The pusher assembly is configured to transition from the first state to the second state after a predetermined number of fasteners remain in the magazine assembly.
