A tool (100) is provided for actuating a pair of fastener ejecting guns (30, 330 and 40, 340). The fastener ejecting guns (30, 330 and 40, 340) are secured to a handle assembly (110, 200) in parallel relation, and in a predetermined angular relationship, one with respect to the other. Tool (100) further includes a trigger assembly (124, 240) for displacing the respective actuating levers (32, 332 and 42, 342) of the fastener ejecting guns (30, 330 and 40, 340). The trigger assembly (124, 240) includes a trigger member (128, 248) which is coupled to an actuating bar member (126, 246) having opposing ends (125, 242 and 127, 244) for respectively displacing the actuating levers of the fastener ejecting guns. Thus, when a user displaces the trigger member (128, 248) both fastener ejecting guns (30, 330 and 40, 340) are actuated to drive a pair of fasteners in two different directions.
