Handheld Handle-Powered Pull Riveter

A blind riveting apparatus, comprising:

• a drive cylinder having a first end opposite a second end and having a drive cylinder axis;
• a drive piston translatable within said drive cylinder;
• a second cylinder having a first end and having a second end opposite said first end, and having a second cylinder axis running therebetween;
• a second piston translatable within said second cylinder along said second cylinder axis;
• said second end of said second cylinder having an aperture for positioning a blind rivet therein;
• a jaw engaged with said second cylinder, said jaw for positioning a mandrel of said blind rivet therein;
• a fluid passage communicating between said drive cylinder to said second cylinder;
• translation of said drive piston in a first direction forcing fluid through said fluid passage and into said second cylinder;
• said fluid entering said second cylinder from said fluid passage causing said second cylinder to translate in a second direction, toward said second end of said second cylinder;
• said first end of said drive cylinder configured for an engagement with a handle having a powered translating member therein;
• and
• whereby, with said drive cylinder in said engagement with said handle, a translation of said translating member therein moves said drive piston in said drive cylinder in said first direction.
