Abstract
A container contains a plurality of strips or rows of nails adhesively secured together and a wedge block splits off one row at a time for dispensing. The separated strip of nails is moved forwardly by means of a magnet so that the front nail of the strip is situated through an aperture and under a tappet. This tappet is struck lightly with a hammer which separates the front nail and enables it to be partially engaged within the work surface. The tappet is spring loaded or counterweighted in order to return it to the uppermost position.
