Abstract
An air cylinder is connected to a centrifugal mesh clutch mechanism connected to an air motor. A driver bit is mounted to a front face of a piston of the air cylinder. A hexagonal shaft is mounted to a rear face thereof and the hexagonal shaft is fitted to a hexagonal hole formed at an anvil of the centrifugal mesh clutch mechanism. A hole having a diameter larger than that of the hexagonal shaft is formed at center of a rotor of the air motor to thereby enable to freely lift the piston and the driver bit in the air cylinder. By simultaneously driving the air motor and the air cylinder by pressurized air, the hexagonal shaft, the piston and the driver bit advance while rotating integrally to thereby fasten a screw.
