Abstract
A powered nail gun is disclosed that has two chambers to hold nails of different sizes or types wherein each chamber can be selectively rotated into a ready-for-use position. A pivot assembly can be provided having a pivot member, a rotatable connecting plate depending therefrom, and first and second supply cartridges connected to the connecting plate and facing in opposing directions. Each supply cartridge has one of the chambers and a firing position to receive and position a nail for impact by a drive mechanism. When one of the supply cartridges is rotated to the ready-for-use position, its firing position is in registration with an impact end of the drive mechanism. Each supply cartridge includes a spring-biased follower to urge the nails in the cartridge toward the firing position.
