A driver guide for use with a fastener-driving tool has a first guide member mounted to the tool body of the fastener-driving tool. A mount device is coupled to the first guide member and serves to mount a second guide member to the first guide member. A fastener guide channel is defined between the first guide member and the second guide member. The mount device is operable in at least three different modes including a first, second, and third mode, while the mount device remains coupled to the first guide member. In the first mode, the second guide member can be fixed in position relative to the first guide member. In the second mode, the second guide member is movable relative to the first guide member within a limited range. In the third mode, the second guide member can be removed from the first guide member.

This invention claims: 1. A driver guide for use with a fastener-driving tool having a tool body, the driver guide comprising: a first guide member mounted to the tool body of the fastener driver guide; a second guide member; a mount device coupled to the first guide member and arranged and constructed to mount the second guide member to the first guide member, wherein a fastener guide channel is defined between the first guide member and the second guide member; and wherein the mount device is operable in at least three different modes while the mount device is coupled to the first guide member, the modes comprising: a first mode wherein the second guide member can be fixed in position relative to the first guide member; a second mode wherein the second guide member is movable relative to the first guide member within a limited range; and a third mode wherein the second guide member can be removed from the first guide member. 2. The driver guide as in claim 1, wherein the mount device comprises at least one mount member movable relative to the first guide member, wherein the mount member is movable to at least three different positions comprising: a first position corresponding to the first mode, a second position corresponding to the second mode, and a third position corresponding to the third mode. 3. The driver guide as in claim 2, wherein the at least one mount member is movable along a movable axis, and wherein the first position, the second position, and the third position, are arranged in this order along the movable axis. 4. The driver guide as in claim 3, wherein the first guide member has a plate-like configuration, and wherein the movable axis extends substantially in a direction of thickness of the first guide member. 5. The driver guide as in claim 3, wherein at least a portion of the mount member moves away from the first guide member as the position of the movable member changes from the first position to the third position. 6. The driver guide as in claim 3, wherein the mount member is threadably engaged with the first guide member, and wherein the mount member moves between the first position and the third position via the second position while the mount member remains threadably engaged with the first guide member. 7. The driver guide as in claim 3, wherein the mount member is connected to the first guide member via a biasing member, wherein the mount member is biased by the biasing member in a direction so as to press the second guide member by the biasing force of the biasing member. 8. The driver guide as in claim 3, wherein: the mount member comprises: a head having a width dimension perpendicular to the movable axis, and a shank having a smaller diameter perpendicular to the movable axis than the width dimension of the head, the mount device further comprises: a first hole formed in the second guide member, a second hole formed in the second guide member, and at least one movement-limiting stopper; wherein the first hole is sized so as to permit the shank of the mount member to pass through the first hole but prevent the head from passing through the first hole; wherein the second hole is formed in series with one end of the first hole and is sized so as to permit the head of the mount member to pass through the second hole; wherein the movement-limiting stopper is arranged and constructed so as to interact with the head of the mount member in order to define the limited range in the second mode, and wherein the movement-limiting stopper is arranged and constructed so as to not interact with the head of the mount member in the third mode in a way that permits the motion of the second guild member to a removal position. 9. The driver guide as in claim 8, wherein the first hole is configured as an elongated hole comprising: a first end, and a second end; wherein the second hole is formed in continuity with the first end of the first hole; and wherein the movement-limiting stopper is positioned at an intermediate transient region located between the first hole and the second hole. 10. The driver guide as in claim 9, wherein the second guide member has a first surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface and directly opposing the first guide member in an assembled state; wherein the first and second holes are formed so as to extend between the first and second surfaces; wherein the mount device further comprises a recess formed in the first surface of the second guide member in a position so as to be overlapped with the first hole, wherein a first bottom is defined around the first end of the first hole, and wherein a second bottom is defined around the intermediate transient region; wherein the first bottom is closer to the first surface than the second bottom; wherein the head of the mount member can be pressed against the first bottom in the first mode; and wherein the movement-limiting stopper is at least partly defined by the second bottom. 11. The driver guide as in claim 10, wherein the head of the mount member has a substantially cylindrical configuration, and wherein the second hole has a substantially circular configuration. 12. The driver guide as in claim 3, wherein: the mount member comprises a head with a width dimension perpendicular to the movable axis, a neck having a smaller diameter perpendicular to the movable axis than the width of the head, and a shank having a smaller diameter perpendicular to the movable axis than the diameter of the neck; the mount device further comprises a first hole formed in the second guide member, a second hole formed in the second guide member, and at least one movement-limiting stopper; the first hole is sized to permit the shank and the neck of the mount member to pass through the first hole but prevents the head from passing through the first hole; the second hole is formed in series with one end of the first hole and is sized to permit the head of the mount member to pass through the second hole; the movement-limiting stopper is arranged and constructed to interfere with the neck of the mount member in order to define the limited range in the second mode, and the movement-limiting stopper is arranged and constructed not to interfere with the head of the mount member in the third mode, so that the second guide member can move to a removal position. 13. The driver guide as in claim 12, wherein: the first hole is configured as an elongated hole having a first end and a second end; the second hole is formed in continuity with the first end of the first hole; and the movement-limiting stopper is positioned at an intermediate transient region between the first hole and the second hole. 14. The driver guide as in claim 12, wherein: the second guide member has a first surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface and directly opposing the first guide member in an assembled state; the first and second holes are formed to extend between the first surface and the second surface; and the movement-limiting stopper is defined as a narrow opening portion that permits the shank of the mount member to pass through the narrow opening but prevents the neck and the head of the mount member from passing through the narrow opening portion. 15. A fastener-driving tool comprising the driver guide as defined in claim 1 and further comprising: a reciprocating driver that can reciprocate within the driver guide; a fastener supply device arranged and constructed to supply fasteners into the driver guide, wherein the fasteners supplied into the guide channel are driven by the driver out of the driver guide.
