Abstract
A pneumatic tool includes a barrel having a nose connected to a front end and a handle connected to the barrel. A threaded area is defined in an outer periphery of the barrel and a sealing plate and an end cap are respectively mounted to a rear end of the barrel. The end cap has a first flange extending outward therefrom. A securing member is threadedly connected to the threaded area of the barrel and a second flange extends inward from the securing member. The second flange presses the first flange so as to force the sealing plate onto the rear end of the barrel without using a bolt.
