Abstract
An anvil assembly for a tool includes an anvil having a body with an outer periphery and a head formed on a distal end of the body. The anvil assembly also includes a sleeve surrounding at least a portion of the outer periphery of the body. The sleeve has a distal end against which a tool element is abutted when the tool element is coupled to the head.
