Abstract
A rivet setting tool for use with double headed blind rivets comprises a collet assembly adapted to engage a pulling head of the rivet mandrel and support segments for engaging the rivet. A single piston drive pulls the collet assembly and the mandrel rearwards relative to the support segments and rivet to set the rivet. Continued movement of the piston further retracts the collet assembly and the support segments to permit delivery of a new rivet at the front of the tool and returns the collet assembly and support segments to a forward position in engagement, respectively, with the mandrel head and the rivet.
