A fastener driving tool includes a housing, a drive track within the housing, a magazine connected to the housing and configured to hold a supply of fasteners and to provide a leading fastener to the drive track, a driver configured to move downward in the drive track and drive the leading fastener
A fastener driving tool includes a housing, a drive track within the housing, a magazine connected to the housing and configured to hold a supply of fasteners and to provide a leading fastener to the drive track, a driver configured to move downward in the drive track and drive the leading fastener into a workpiece during a drive stroke, a mount connected to the driver, and a clincher operatively connected to the housing and to the mount. The clincher is configured to engage the leading fastener during the drive stroke and move into a clinching position at the end of the drive stroke to clinch the fastener to the workpiece. A motor is configured to rotate a crank arm, and a connecting rod is pivotably connected to the mount at one end portion thereof and pivotably connected to the crank arm at an opposite end portion thereof.

1. A fastener driving tool, comprising: a housing;a drive track within the housing;a magazine connected to the housing and configured to hold a supply of fasteners and to provide a leading fastener to the drive track;a driver configured to move downward in the drive track and drive the leading fastener into a workpiece during a drive stroke, and upward in the drive track during a return stroke;a mount connected to the driver;a clincher operatively connected to the housing and to the mount, the clincher being configured to engage the leading fastener during the drive stroke and move into a clinching position at the end of the drive stroke to clinch the fastener to the workpiece;a motor configured to rotate a crank arm;a connecting rod pivotably connected to the mount at an upper end portion thereof and pivotably connected to the crank arm at a lower end portion thereof, the connecting rod being configured to pull the mount and the driver downward through the drive stroke when the crank arm rotates from a first position to a second position,wherein, as the crank arm rotates from the first position to the second position, the crank arm moves the lower end portion of the connecting rod therewith. 2. The fastening driving tool according to claim 1, wherein the mount is integral with the driver. 3. The fastening driving tool according to claim 1, wherein the connecting rod is configured to pull the mount and the driver upward through the return stroke when the crank arm rotates from the second position to the first position. 4. The fastening driving tool according to claim 3, wherein the crank arm rotates 180° between the first position and the second position. 5. The fastening driving tool according to claim 1, wherein the clincher comprises: a first link pivotably connected to the mount, and a second link pivotably connected to the mount;a first clincher arm pivotably connected to the first link and pivotably connected to the housing, and a second clincher arm pivotably connected to the second link and pivotably connected to the housing; anda first clincher anvil connected to the first clincher arm at a first end thereof, and a second clincher anvil connected to the second clincher arm at a first end thereof, wherein a second end of the first clincher anvil and a second end of the second clincher anvil are each configured to move downwardly and inwardly towards each other to engage the leading fastener during the drive stroke and clinch the leading fastener to the workpiece at the end of the drive stroke. 6. The fastener driving tool according to claim 5, wherein the first clincher anvil is integral with the first clincher arm, and wherein the second clincher anvil is integral with the second clincher arm. 7. The fastener driving tool according to claim 5, wherein the fasteners are staples, wherein each staple comprises a crown and two legs extending from the crown, and wherein the driver is configured to engage the crown and each of the second ends of the first and second clincher anvils is configured to engage one of the legs. 8. The fastener driving tool according to claim 5, wherein the first clincher anvil and the second clincher anvil each have an arcuate shape and extend arcuately downwardly from the respective second ends of the first clincher arm and the second clincher arm. 9. The fastener driving tool according to claim 8, wherein a distal tip of the first clincher anvil and a distal tip of the second clincher anvil are each configured to pierce through the workpiece as the first clincher anvil and the second clincher anvil move downwardly and inwardly into the clinching position. 10. The fastener driving tool according to claim 9, wherein the workpiece is a corrugated fiberboard container. 11. The fastener driving tool according to claim 1, further comprising a trigger mechanically coupled to a handle portion of the housing and electrically coupled to the motor, and an energy storage device connected to the handle portion, and wherein the trigger is configured to selectively provide electric power from the energy storage device to the motor when a user of the fastener driving tool operates the trigger while holding the handle portion. 12. The fastener driving tool according to claim 11, wherein the energy storage device comprises a battery pack. 13. The fastening driving tool according to claim 1, wherein the connecting rod is pivotably connected to the mount at the one end portion thereof using a first connector. 14. The fastening driving tool according to claim 13, wherein the housing comprises a first aperture to enable access to the first connector disposed within the housing. 15. The fastening driving tool according to claim 14, wherein the first connector is constructed and arranged to be coaxial with the first aperture to allow the first connector to be removed from the tool through the first aperture. 16. The fastening driving tool according to claim 15, wherein the clincher comprises a pair of clincher anvils. 17. The fastening driving tool according to claim 16, further comprises a pair of second connectors, wherein each second connector is constructed and arranged to connect one of the clincher anvils to a corresponding portion of the clincher. 18. The fastening driving tool according to claim 17, wherein the housing comprises a pair of second apertures, wherein each second aperture is constructed and arranged to enable access to the respective second connector. 19. The fastening driving tool according to claim 18, wherein the pair of second connectors are constructed and arranged to be coaxial with the pair of second apertures to allow each second connector to be removed from the tool through the corresponding second aperture. 20. The fastening driving tool according to claim 19, further comprises a cover that covers the first aperture, wherein removing the cover from the housing exposes the first connector through the first aperture, and wherein the exposed first connector is removed from the tool through the first aperture. 21. The fastening driving tool according to claim 20, wherein, when the first connector is removed from the tool through the first aperture, the mount is free to move from an upper position of the drive stroke vertically downward to a bottom position of the drive stroke of the driver, which causes the clincher to also move vertically downward. 22. The fastening driving tool according to claim 21, wherein, when the pair of second connectors are removed from the tool through the pair of second apertures, the clincher anvils are freed from the rest of the clincher and configured to be removed from the tool. 23. The fastening driving tool according to claim 22, wherein replacement clincher anvils are secured to the clincher by aligning the replacement clincher anvils with their respective portions of the clincher and inserting the removed pair of second connectors through the pair of second apertures. 24. The fastening driving tool according to claim 23, wherein, after the replacement clincher anvils are secured to the clincher, the mount and the driver are moved upward in the drive track, and the removed first connector is inserted through the first aperture in the housing and into the mount and connecting rod, thereby connecting the mount to the connecting rod.
