ABSTRACT:
Tool inserting an electronic component such as a microprocessor or other integrated circuit into and removing the same from a socket on a circuit board or the like. The tool has a reversible presser foot slidably mounted between a pair of side plates and adapted to be driven by a drive screw. The presser foot has a drive surface on one side thereof for engagement with an upper drive surface of the component and a pair of feet on an opposite side thereof for engagement with an upper surface of the circuit board. Hooks at the lower ends of the side plates are selectively engagable with either an under surface of the socket or an under surface of the component. The component is pressed into the socket by rotation of the drive screw with the hooks engaging the lower surface of the socket and the drive surface of the foot pressing against the upper surface of the component, and it is removed by rotation of the drive screw with the hooks engaging the lower surface of the component and the feet of the presser foot bearing against the circuit board.
