The nails thus projected can be readily grasped and removed from the slot by lateral pressure against the spring member 16. With the holder in proper position, the nails may be removed from one end of the slot in which they are in position for driving upwardly Without turning them from the other end of the slot When they Will be in position for driving downwardly Without turnmg.
