Abstract: A remote triggering device for a setting tool that includes a setting tool; an extension having a spring with a spring rate greater than a spring rate in the setting tool, the extension being in operable communication with the setting tool; and a trigger actuator in operable communication with both the extension and the setting. A method for remote triggering of a setting tool that includes urging a setting tool and extension against a work piece; compressing a spring in the setting tool; compressing a spring in the extension subsequent to the compression of a spring in the setting tool; actuating a triggering bar; actuating a trigger of the setting tool; and discharging a fastener for the setting tool.
