Abstract
A riveting tool for fastening a hollow rivet to a curved workpiece is disclosed. The tool includes a main body provided with a forwardly-extending barrel terminating in a forked distal end. The main body has a power-operated rotor formed with a central hexagon stem in alignment with the barrel. A sleeve is movable within the barrel to an extended position and is spring-loaded in such a way that it is normally in the extended position but may be retracted into the barrel when being pressed backward. The riveting tool further includes a screw having a socket head engaged with the central hexagon stem of the rotor. The screw extends out of the barrel through the sleeve.
