Powered fastener driving tool

A powder-actuated fastener driving tool comprising:

• a housing assembly including a main compartment assembly defining a tubular outer housing including a top wall, a bottom wall opposite the top wall, a left side wall, and a right side wall opposite the left side wall;
• a handle assembly extending from the bottom wall of the main compartment assembly;
• and
• a load strip receiver positioned in the main compartment assembly of the housing assembly, the load strip receiver including:
• a first guide groove defining wall,
• an opposing second guide groove defining wall, the first guide groove defining wall and the opposing second guide groove defining wall partially defining a guide groove and configured to guide a load strip to move through the load strip receiver and the outer housing, wherein the first guide groove defining wall and the second guide groove defining wall each extend inwardly toward each other, and
• a plurality of residue collection pocket defining walls that partially define a plurality of spaced apart residue collection pockets, wherein at least one of the residue collection pockets extends through the load strip receiver from a bottom side of the load strip receiver to a top side of the load strip receiver and at least another one of the residue collection pockets extends part of the way through the load strip receiver from the bottom side of the load strip receiver to a middle area of the load strip receiver.
