ABSTRACT:
A fastener setting tool is constructed so that the mandrel of a fastener is inserted into a nose at the front end of the tool; the body of the fastener projected from the nose is inserted into the mounting hole of a base member such as a panel; under that condition, the mandrel is pulled enough to break the mandrel to enlarge the shank of the fastener body to fix the fastener by the enlarged shank portion and a flange of the fastener body. The tool also includes a broken piece collecting assembly 30 for collecting, through a path 9 within the tool, the broken pieces 37 of the mandrels, which are broken by the above pulling operation. The broken piece collecting assembly comprises a container 15 encircling the outlet port of the path and extending to elongate the path for collecting the broken pieces as discharged from the path; and a broken piece entangling prevention means disposed in the container. The broken piece entangling prevention means comprises an elongated broken piece receiver member 31 extending in the container along the axis of the path. The broken piece receiver member 31 is provided with an elongated groove 34 to receive the broken piece 37 outputted from the path in its existing posture.
