A rivet setting tool provided with a threaded bolt or drift for engaging a nut of the rivet. The rivet has a thin walled sleeve portion which is to be deformed during setting of the rivet and forms a flange. The rivet setting tool is driven with decreasing force during the working stroke of the rivet setting tool. In a first embodiment, a toggle lever arrangement having a pair of hand levers and a pair of linking levers is used to produce a decreasing force during the working stroke. In a second embodiment, a pneumatic cylinder cooperates with spring means in order to produce a force during the working stroke which is decreasing.
