Abstract
A two-handled blind riveting tool with a spent mandrel collecting device has a rivet setting assembly and a driving handle and a spent mandrel collecting device being separately mounted on a housing of the rivet setting assembly. A stationary handle of the spent mandrel collecting device has an elongated hole, a guider of the spent mandrel collecting device is mounted between the housing and the stationary handle, and a guiding tube of the spent mandrel collecting device is mounted in the housing. Snapped mandrels slide along the guiding tube and the guider and then drop into the stationary handle. Therefore, the snapped mandrels do not hurt an operator for improved safety and are recycled to keep working areas clean.
