If the nail is properly aligned the pivoting probe assembly, coupled with a pivoting probe base assembly, rotates and allows the nail to advance. If the nail is improperly aligned the pivoting probe assembly engages with a lock ledge assembly providing a stop and hindering the advancement of the nail.
