Abstract
Abstract A shock absorbing mount for a fastening tool such as a pneumatic nailer which is especially useful in applications where a plurality of pneumatic fastening tools are used simultaneously. Each tool is mounted on elastomeric diaphragm members for limited resilient shock absorbing movement in a direction parallel to the stroke of the driver blade of the fastening tool and for limited resilient rocking movement forwardly and rearwardly of the driving end of the driver blade. Each fastening tool is separately secured to a frame assembly.
