ABSTRACT:
A tool for inserting a printed circuit card into a holder the latter having top and bottom guide tracks and a rear wall having contacts engageable by terminal tabs on the card, as well as the extraction of such cards frm the holder, comprising a pistol grip type handle and a shaft extending perpendicularly outward from the handle. The shaft includes a hook on one end and is rotatably mounted to the handle on an opposite end. A plunger including a retractable stop bracket is slideably mounted on the shaft and is propelled forward via a spring loaded trigger bracket. By rotating the shaft and retracting the stop bracket the hook is engaged to the bottom guide track allowing the plunger to insert the circuit card into the holder and its associated contacts, when the trigger is squeezed. To extract the card the shaft is rotated to engage the rear of the circuit card handle and the stop bracket rested on the bottom guide track. The hook pulls and extracts the circuit card from the holder when the trigger bracket is squeezed.
