1. A power tool comprising:
- a structure;
a flywheel coupled to the structure;
a driver that is translatable along a driver axis; and
a follower assembly having an actuator, an activation arm assembly and a spring, the activation arm assembly including a first arm, a second arm, a third arm and a pinch roller, the first arm being fixed to the structure, the second arm being pivotally mounted to the first arm, the third arm having a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being pivotally and axially slidably coupled to the first arm, the second portion being pivotally coupled to the actuator, the spring biasing the first portion about the second arm in a first rotational direction;
wherein the third arm pivots about the second arm in response to actuation of the actuator to move the second arm such that the roller drives the driver into driving engagement with the flywheel.

Abstract
A power tool that includes a structure; a flywheel coupled to the structure; a driver that is translatable along a driver axis; and a follower assembly having an actuator and an activation arm assembly. The actuator is coupled to the activation arm assembly. The activation arm assembly is coupled to the structure and includes a pinch roller. Actuation of the actuator causes the pinch roller to translate toward and engage the driver to initiate driving engagement between the driver and the flywheel.
