an annular body defining an interior space for receiving the power tool and configured to cover at least a linearly reciprocating portion of the power tool;
wherein the annular body has an aperture formed through a face of the annular body;
a fastener configured to pass through the aperture and secure the guard to the power tool; and
wherein the at least the linearly reciprocating portion of the power tool comprises a portion of the power tool at which a gap forms between a carrier of the power tool and a nosepiece of the power tool when the carrier is in a retracted position.
2. The guard of claim 1 , wherein the body comprises an upper portion that is curved to complement a contour of the power tool.
3. The guard of claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a surface treatment applied to at least a portion of an exterior surface of the body.
4. The guard of claim 3 , wherein the surface treatment comprises a knurling treatment.
5. The guard of claim 3 , wherein the surface treatment comprises one or more grooves that complement fingers of a user.
6. The guard of claim 1 , comprising a handle secured to the body.
7. The guard of claim 1 , wherein the at least the linearly reciprocating portion of the power tool comprises a slot formed into a frame of the power tool.
8. A guard system for a power tool, the guard system comprising:
a pulling head comprising a frame and a carrier movably disposed within the frame; and
a guard defining an interior space configured to receive the pulling head and configured to cover at least a moving portion of the pulling head, the guard comprising:
an aperture formed through a bottom face of the guard; and
a fastener configured to pass through the aperture and secure the guard to the pulling head.
9. The guard system of claim 8 , wherein the guard comprises an upper portion that is curved to complement a contour of the carrier.
