ABSTRACT:
An extension for use with different pneumatically powered tools is provided. The extension comprises an elongated body for coupling the extension to a pneumatic source and a sleeve for coupling a pneumatic tool to the extension, coupling the tool to the source. The extension has a small diameter to enable the extension to be disposed in substantially small workspaces, for enabling facile operation of a pneumatic tool coupled to the extension in such workspaces. The extension is sufficiently long, to enable a tool coupled to the extension to access fasteners located in deep and narrow workspaces. The body has a handle that includes a control switch for controlling activation of a tool coupled thereto, thus remotely controlling activation of the tool. A passageway extends through the body to provide an air flow path therethrough pneumatic air source to the pneumatic tool coupled to the extension. The sleeve has a connecting portion for coupling the sleeve to the body and a coupling portion for coupling the sleeve to the tool. A clamp is affixed to the coupling region of the sleeve for securing the tool to the extension. The clamp is provided for bypassing the activation switch of the tool, to enable remote activation the tool with the extension, and to secure the tool to the sleeve.
