Abstract

A fastener supply assembly for a fastener driving tool includes an outlet passage arranged to expel fasteners from the assembly to a workpiece during use, a magazine comprising a plurality of supply channels arranged to hold fasteners and supply them to the outlet passage, and a channel selector. The channel select has an opening and is arranged to selectively connect, via its opening, the outlet passage with each respective supply channel of the magazine, by movement of the channel selector relative to both the magazine and a longitudinal axis of the outlet passage. The movement of the channel selector may comprise rotation about the longitudinal axis of the outlet passage.
