Abstract
A retainer hoop of an elastic member to restrain the elastic member from moving off a hoop spring of a tool, or from moving off a designated portion of the hoop spring. The elastic member can be retained on a portion of the hoop spring by a tube surrounding a portion of the elastic member, or from a bend or combination of bends in the hoop spring itself. The elastic member is therefore restrained from moving to an area where failure can occur more likely if the tool is dropped or if the tool applies a larger load than is conventionally applied.
