What tool is he using?

Probably a silly question this.

In Steve Ramsey new video he makes picture frame. At the end, what is the yellow stapler like tool he uses?

It's one of these:

for driving in the little metal tabs that keep the glass, picture and backing in place.

In the top photo on Jake's link it shows the user firing in the sprig, but if you do it that way you'll disassemble the frame that you've just spent so much care assembling! You should back up the tool with a chunky block of wood on the other side of the frame to absorb the impact shock.
