A blind rivet setting tool including a nosepiece storage unit removably attached to a housing feature of the tool, wherein the nosepiece storage unit is configured to hold a plurality of nosepieces and defines a mandrel receiving opening which aligns with an exit opening of the tool such that the broken mandrel of a set rivet can be moved through the mandrel receiving opening in use; and method of using the nosepiece storage unit.

A power tool including a motor at least partially located within the handle of the tool and having a first motor rotational axis extending along a longitudinal axis of the handle; and a fastener gripping portion operatively coupled to the motor via a transmission which in use causes movement of the fastener gripping portion along a second axis, between a home position and a retracted position to set a fastener engaged by the fastener gripping portion; the transmission including a bevel gear arrangement for redirecting torque to the second axis, and further including a mechanism for converting torque output from the bevel gear arrangement in use into a linear force for causing linear movement of the fastener gripping portion.

A fastening tool includes a tool body, an anvil, a pin-gripping part, a motor, a rotation member, a moving member, a gear part and a receiving member. The rotation member is configured to be rotationally driven around the driving axis. The moving member is coupled to the pin-gripping part and engaged with the rotation member. The moving member is configured to move along a driving axis defining a front-rear direction, in response to rotational driving of the rotation member. The gear part is shaped like a flange projecting radially outward from an outer peripheral surface of the rotation member, and has gear teeth on an outer circumference thereof. The receiving member is disposed rearward of the gear part and configured to receive, via a rear surface of the gear part, a rearward reaction force applied to the rotation member when the pin-gripping part moves frontward.

A blind riveting device is provided, which is adapted for engagement to a handle having a powered translating member projecting therefrom. Force from the translating member imparted to a drive piston moves a second piston to pull a blind rivet connected to a jaw engaged with the second piston, thereby mounting the blind rivet.

The present invention provides a pull riveting system including two or more pull-rivets and a riveting device, the pull-rivet including a rivet mandrel; the riveting device including two or more rivet gun heads, each provided with a rivet gun hole; wherein each of the pull-rivets is provided with a first label; each rivet gun head is provided with a second label; when one pull-rivet is matched with one rivet gun head, the rivet mandrel of this pull-rivet is applicable to the rivet gun hole of the rivet gun head, and the first label of the pull-rivet is the same as or corresponds to the second label of the rivet gun head. The present invention has the advantageous effects that labels easily identified with naked eyes are arranged on the rivet gun head and the pull-rivet, such that the pull-rivet and the rivet gun head which are matched with each other form a simple correspondence, so that the user may rapidly identify the pull-rivet specification and the rivet gun head matched with the pull-rivet, effectively reducing the waste of the pull-rivets, lowering the damage risk to the rivet gun, and effectively improving the work efficiency.

A fastener placement tool has a mandrel able to place a series of captive rivets in sequence. The tool employs a single electric motor capable of driving the tool into either a first cycle for rivet placement, to a second cycle for selective release of the mandrel form the tool for rivet replenishment. The tool includes a user-operable switch actual to select which of the first or second cycle the tool is to operate.

A fastening tool includes a housing, a fastener-abutment part, a pin-gripping part, a motor, a driving mechanism and a handle. The housing extends in a front-rear direction along a driving axis. The driving mechanism is configured to move the pin-gripping part rearward along the driving axis relative to the fastener-abutment part. The driving mechanism includes a rotary member and a movable member configured to linearly move in the front-rear direction when the rotary member is rotationally driven. The handle protrudes downward from the housing and has a trigger. A rotation axis of a motor shaft extends in parallel to the driving axis on a lower side of the driving axis. A virtual plane including the driving axis and the rotation axis passes a center of the handle in a left-right direction. The trigger is disposed between the rotary member and a motor body in the front-rear direction.

A fastener installation tool and method for interference fit, said fastener (10) comprising a head and a grasping element, said tool comprising a first body (30) extending along a first main axis and having: —at least one load-reacting surface, of which one also constitutes a surface for the application of a load; —a load transmission surface, and—a housing extending along the first main axis from a first end of said first body, said housing being extended along the first main axis by a drilling extending from said housing as far as a second end of said first body. According to the invention, the load transmission surface is situated at the second end of the first body (30) and extends perpendicular to the first main axis, said load transmission surface being dimensioned to be able to bear simultaneously on the head and on the insert clamp.

A rivet tool for setting a rivet, the rivet tool including a motor and a pulling mechanism. The pulling mechanism is configured to receive torque from the motor and includes a moveable member moveable between first and second positions. A plurality of jaws are configured to Clamp onto a mandrel of the rivet and pull the mandrel in response to the moveable member moving from the first position to the second position. A magnet is coupled for movement with the moveable member and includes a north pole face, an adjacent south pole face, and a pole junction therebetween. The north and south pole faces face away from the moveable member. A first sensor is configured to detect the pole junction when the moveable member is in the first position. A second sensor is configured to detect the pole junction when the moveable member is in the second position.

A blind pull type fastener includes a pin, a sleeve, a collar, and a bulb-forming portion. The pin includes a head. The pin is pulled so that the head applies force to the bulb-forming portion. The bulb-forming portion is deformed to form a bulb. The collar is deformed into a void of the sleeve. The pin includes locking rings. The collar is deformed to lock with the locking rings.
