An adjustable exhaust assembly for a pneumatic fastening tool having body
and a handle extending from the body, the handle defining an inlet
channel for receiving input of pressurized gas and an outlet channel for
outputting exhaust. The adjustable exhaust assembly includes a base
non-rotatably attachable to an end of the handle opposite the body. The
base has a plate and a boss extending from the plate. The boss is
configured to receive an air hose and defining an inlet opening
configured to direct compressed air to the inlet channel. The plate has
an outlet opening in communication with the outlet channel. A
substantially annular and cap is rotatably received about the boss. The
cap defines a substantially annular channel in communication with the
outlet opening of the base and an outlet port defined in a portion of a
circumferential wall of the annular cap and in communication with the
annular channel. Rotation of the cap about the boss moves the outlet
opening among a plurality of radial positions relative to the boss.
