a set of nosepieces, each nosepiece in the set removably attachable to the setting end of the housing, the set of nosepieces including
a first nosepiece with a first longitudinal bore having a first diameter, a first detent, and a first O-ring configured to bias the first detent, the first O-ring having a first color;
a second nosepiece with a second longitudinal bore having a second diameter that is different than the first diameter, a second detent, and a second O-ring configured to bias the second detent, the second O-ring having a second color that is different than the first color; and
wherein the rivet tool further includes an on-board storage receptacle defining individual recesses each configured to receive an unused one of the first or second nosepieces, and
wherein the grip portion is disposed between the on-board storage receptacle and the pulling head in the generally longitudinal direction.
10. The rivet tool set of claim 9 , wherein each of the nosepieces further comprises a circumferential groove in which their respective O-ring is arranged.
11. The rivet tool set of claim 10 , wherein each of the nosepieces further comprises a radial bore in communication with their respective longitudinal bore and their respective circumferential groove, and wherein each of their respective detents includes a ball detent arranged in the respective radial bore, and wherein each ball detent is biased radially inward by their respective O-ring.
12. The rivet tool set of claim 11 , wherein in a biased position, each ball detent projects into their respective longitudinal bore.
