The invention of this application provides a pneumatic tool with a simple
structure. The tool has a tubular housing, a stationary shaft, a first
piston slidable along the stationary shaft, a second piston, a tool
attachment member drivingly connected to the second piston, a compressed
air supply path extending through the stationary shaft to supply
compressed air between the first and second pistons, and an air discharge
path for discharging the compressed air supplied between the first and
second pistons to the outside of the housing when the first and second
pistons are separated by a predetermined distance. The compressed air
supply path has an axial portion in the stationary shaft and a radial
portion, a compressed air inlet recess in the inner wall surface of a
shaft sliding hole, and a supply outlet extending forward from the
forward end of the compressed air inlet recess and communicating with a
portion between the first and second pistons.
