Abstract
This invention provides an installation tool for a fastener that includes a nut and a tubular portion having an external knurl, the tool including an internally and externally threaded sleeve, a screw extending through the sleeve and engageable with the nut of the fastener, and an internally threaded element engaging the external threads of the sleeve and having an abutment surface at one end. Advancement of the internally threaded element causes the screw to move the fastener axially, forcing its tubular portion into an opening in a workpiece. The sleeve has a die surface at one end and is then advanced to engage the end of the tubular portion of the fastener for bending it outwardly to form a flange.
