Abstract
A collation strip, and a collation strip assembly, comprises a plurality of fasteners upon which a plurality of collar members are disposed, the collar members being interconnected by means of a plurality of web members. Undersurface portions of the collar members are adapted to support the collation strip assembly upon rail members of a tool magazine, and in addition, the collar members have annular guide ring portions which cooperate with head portions of the fasteners so as to guide the fasteners in a two-point axially spaced manner within the nosepiece bore of the tool so as to ensure coaxial disposition of the fasteners within the bore throughout their driven movement through the bore by means of a tool driving blade assembly.
