Abstract: A rivet setting tool is provided with a mandrel collection system. The mandrel collection system uses a valve system to provide high and low vacuum states to draw rivet mandrels into a collection bottle. The low vacuum state provides an energy savings and reduced noise levels.

Abstract: A pneumatically operated hydraulically intensified rivet setting tool exhausts into the intensifier sleeve above the piston where the air expands and exits between the sleeve and the housing through a ring plenum and out an exit conduit.

Abstract: A light weight heavy duty blind rivet setting tool having one piece upper housing containing a rivet setting mechanism and a one piece lower pressure vessel having an air activated piston operable to pressurize a medium in the upper housing to activate the rivet setting mechanism. The upper housing has a handle area containing a trigger which, through a trigger linkage, operates a valve on the bottom of the pressure vessel which is connectable to an air source. A muffler is positioned adjacent the valve to receive the exhausted air from the pressure vessel after the tool has been operated, to minimize the noise level of the tool operation. The trigger linkage is adjustable to eliminate the tolerance stack-up in the linkage.
