Abstract
A fastening tool with a housing, a nosepiece that is coupled to the housing and a contact trip that includes a lower contact trip, an upper contact trip and a depth adjustment assembly. The lower contact trip is mounted on the nosepiece for translation between an extended position and a retracted position. The upper contact trip is separate from the lower contact trip. The depth adjustment assembly includes a stem, a sleeve that is threadably coupled to the stem, and a knob. The knob is rotatably coupled to the sleeve but axially movable thereon. The stem is coupled to one of the lower contact trip and the upper contact trip and the sleeve is captured by the other one of the lower contact trip and the upper contact trip.
