Fastening System for Sheathing Board

A fastening system for use with a sheathing member consisting of a polymeric material, the system comprising:

• a feedband made up of a series of interconnected membranes, each membrane defined by a central extent and a peripheral edge, each membrane formed at least in part from a polymeric material;
• a series of fasteners, each fastener having a head and a body, the body of each fastener being secured through the central extent of an associated membrane such that the head and membrane are in contact;
• a drill including a delivery mechanism, the delivery mechanism retaining and selectively advancing the feedband such that the individual fasteners can be sequentially driven by the drill;
• whereby driving an individual fastener causes the edge of the associated membrane to tear away from the feedband and further causes the fastener to seat within the sheathing board so that a chemical bond is formed between the polymeric compound of the membrane and the polymeric compound of the sheathing board.
