ABSTRACT:
The exhaust created from the operation of pneumatic tools can create a considerable amount of noise. The present disclosure includes a detachable muffler apparatus used to reduce the sound during the operation of a pneumatic tool. The muffler apparatus includes a flexible outer housing that defines a muffler passage extending between a muffler inlet and a muffler outlet. The flexible outer housing includes an attachment end that defines the muffler inlet and a distal end that defines the muffler outlet. The attachment end can be removably attached to a pneumatic tool body by a fastener. Tool exhaust is forced through and around folds within at least one sheet of permeable material positioned within the muffler passage.
