Abstract
A hand tool for inserting a MOS integrated circuit into a socket is described. The tool is characterized by a handle having at one end gripping means operative with a collet-like action for receiving the MOS IC. A rotatable sleeve on the handle opens and closes the gripping means, and further means are provided on the handle to eject the IC. The tool is mainly of plastic, with a conductive surface, and means are provided for electrically grounding the tool to avoid damaging the IC.
