Abstract
A set tool may comprise a handle member and a fastener retention member modularly coupled with the handle member. A permanent magnet may be positioned within a portion of the handle member and may be used to secure a ferromagnetic fastener within a fastener retention recess formed within the fastener retention member, when the fastener retention member is engaged with the handle member.
Claims20
A tool for driving a fastener into a workpiece, the tool comprising:
- a fastener retention member defining:
- a fastener retention recess at a first end of the fastener retention member and configured to receive at least a portion of the fastener positioned therein;
- and
- a coupling recess at a second end of the fastener retention member;
- and
- a handle member defining a coupling protrusion at a coupling end of the handle member, the coupling protrusion configured to engage with the coupling recess of the fastener retention member to removably couple the handle member to the fastener retention member, the handle member comprising a permanent magnet at least partially within the coupling protrusion and configured to magnetically retain the fastener within the fastener retention member.

A tool for driving a fastener into a workpiece, the tool comprising:
- an elongate body structure extending from a first end to a second end and defining:
- a fastener retention recess at the first end of the elongate body structure and configured to receive at least a portion of a fastener;
- a channel extending into the elongate body structure from a side surface of the elongate body structure;
- and
- a barrier wall between the channel and the fastener retention recess;
- and
- a permanent magnet positioned in the channel and configured to magnetically retain the fastener in the fastener retention recess.

A tool for driving a fastener into a workpiece, the tool comprising:
- a guide structure defining:
- a guide channel;
- and
- a workpiece interface surface configured to contact the workpiece and align the guide structure relative to the workpiece during a fastener driving operation;
- a first magnetic component positioned proximate to the guide channel;
- and
- a fastener holder comprising:
- a shaft defining:
- a first end configured to be positioned in the guide channel and to couple to the fastener;
- and
- a second end configured to be positioned outside the guide channel;
- and
- a second magnetic component coupled to the shaft and configured to interact with the first magnetic component to releasably hold the fastener holder in a primed position in the guide channel, wherein:
- the fastener holder is configured to be guided along a fastener-driving path by the guide channel;
- and
- the fastener holder is configured to be released from the primed position to drive the fastener into the workpiece in response to an impact force applied to the second end of the shaft.
