Blind bolt and tool combination

A blind bolt for extending through a hole, the hole having a diameter, a length, a proximate end and a distal end, the hole extending through a first member and a second member with a surface formed on the second member adjacent the distal end of the hole, and with an interface between the first member and the second member, the blind bolt comprising:

• a blind bolt shaft having a length greater than the length of the hole and having a distal end and a proximate end with threads formed on the blind bolt shaft adjacent the proximate end;
• a blind bolt head on the distal end of the blind bolt shaft, the blind bolt head having a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the hole;
• a folding washer being foldable along a fold line for being disposed on the distal end of the threaded blind bolt shaft between the blind bolt head and the surface on the second member, the folding washer having a folded configuration with a dimension and a configuration such that it may pass through the hole and having an unfolded configuration with a diameter greater than the diameter of the hole and configured such that it may not pass through the hole;
• a shear sleeve disposed on the blind bolt shaft proximate the distal end of the blind bolt shaft and having a length dimension sufficient to extend across the interface between the first and second members;
• a nut threaded on the proximate end of the threaded blind bolt shaft;
• and
• a means disposed between the shear sleeve and the nut, the means for transmitting a force for pushing and sliding the shear sleeve within the hole into a position extending across the interface between the first member and the second member, the shear sleeve being dimensioned to slide on the blind bolt shaft within the hole in response to the force of the means.
