Abstract
A nose assembly attachable to an actuating tool for pulling a pin type fastener through aligned holes in two or more workpieces includes a pin-engagement jaw structure that is locked to or unlocked from the fastener through a lost motion connection. A transverse pin that extends radially through a rear portion of the jaw structure and into an axial groove in an annular housing functions in response to axial motion of a collet member that is operated within the housing by a reciprocable piston in the actuation tool.
