The arrangement of channels is shown diagrammatically in Figs. 6 and 7, in which the valve is represented at right-angles to its proper position. During the forward movement of the piston B, motive fluid passes to the top of the cylinder through channels d<3>, e<3> and spaces e'. The channel y, Figs. 6 and 7, is merely shown for diagrammatic purposes as shown by Fig. 1. The exhaust takes place through channels a', a, d<4>, Fig. 4, e<4>, d<5> and through channels a<12>, d<12>, Fig. 4. The valve piston e' is always in contact with live air on one side and with the exhaust through the channel d<8> on the other. The opposite piston e<6>, which is the larger of the two, is always in contact with the exhaust on one side through the channel d<5>, and has a variable pressure on its other side. The valve is shifted to the position shown in Fig. 7 by motive fluid passing between the channels a<8>, a<6> by means of the neck b and thence acting on the valve through channels a'. During the rear stroke of the piston, motive fluid passes to the forward end of the cylinder by channels d<3>, e<4>, d<4>, Fig. 4, a, a<1>, and the exhaust takes place through channels y, e<2>, e<3>, d<8>. The valve is shifted to its original position by motive fluid reaching the larger piston e<6> through channels a<8>, neck b, and channels a<6>, a<7>, d<7>. In a modification, the channel a' is dispensed with. The handle C is secured to the cylinder A, or any other two parts of the tool are secured together by screwing the parts together and locking them in position by a pin 5. This pin enters one of the notches 1 in the handle, and one of the grooves 4 cut across the annular groove 3 in the cylinder. The pin is kept in place by a curved spring band which fits in the groove 3. The number of grooves 4 and notches 1 are dissimilar, and one is not a multiple of the other. This enables a finer adjustment to be made.
