Abstract
An apparatus includes a powered tool configured to fasten a fastener to an assembly. The powered tool includes a fastener-driving assembly configured to selectively operatively engage the fastener. The fastener-driving assembly is also configured to selectively transmit a fastening force to the fastener. The powered tool also includes a fastener-engagement assembly configured to permit operative engageable access between the fastener-driving assembly and the fastener. For a case where the fastener-engagement assembly permits operative engageable access between the fastener-driving assembly and the fastener, the fastener-driving assembly may operatively engage the fastener, and the fastener-driving assembly may transmit the fastening force to the fastener.
