An anvil for a blind riveting tool comprises an annular disc 23 of resilient nylon-6 material received in a counterbore in the front of a rigid backing or mount 25. When the tool is used to place a blind rivet, the nylon disc contacts the rivet shell head to support it against the pull of the mandrel. The disc is flexible enough to conform to the shape of the rivet head, thus maximizing the contact area and minimizing the contact thrust, and is soft enough not to damage or mark the rivet head surface, which may, for example, be painted.

An anvil secured to one end of a riveting tool of the type for use with a rivet having a shell with a head at one end which, in use, is supported against the anvil whilst the tool pulls a mandrel or stem into and through the shell, said anvil having at least a first part thereof which in use contacts the fastener shell head, said first part being formed of a resilient material which is strong enough to support the shell against the pull of the mandrel and is soft enough not to damage the surface of the shell head, including a rigid part providing a backing or mount for the said resilient part, and a bore extending through both parts for reception of the mandrel or stem during a riveting operation, the cross-sectional dimension of the bore being greater in the resilient part than in the rigid part.
