A tool (1) for manipulating a target with combustion products from a propellant includes a housing (2) defining a chamber (12), at least two propellant sources located within the chamber and spaced apart one from the other, an ignition mechanism for igniting propellant (26) at the propellant sources, and at least one chamber outlet (30) for combustion products from the propellant sources. Methods of manipulating a target using the tool are also described.
