OFFSET TOOL AND CARTRIDGE NOSE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A hand tool for setting multipieced fasteners such as lock bolts by application of a relative axial force and being fluid actuated by a piston-cylinder actuable along a first axis and having a removable cartridge type nose assembly for applying the axial setting force to the fastener along a second axis radially offset from the first axis such that the area immediately behind the nose assembly is essentially open and with the tool having a handle to be gripped by the operator and with a portion of the tool including the nose assembly being selectively rotatable about the first axis to facilitate use of the tool in various installation situations.
