Abstract
This invention concerns an apparatus to assist in the installation of certain spring clips such as those embodied in an Electrostatic Animal Guard. The apparatus structure is primarily a series of offset tines by which the clip can be held. In addition to these tines is a slidable bar that further holds the clip. Movement of the bar alters the apparatus's relative hold on the clip allowing for seating and release of the clip when the bar is in one position, and preventing the seating and release of the clip when in another position.
