Abstract
An energy storage tool includes a handle selectively linked to a power spring to deflect and store energy in the spring. The handle is decoupled from a link to the power spring by decoupling members in a release action. A peak release force results during the de-linking that is additive to a spring deflection force. An added motion bar adds leverage to the handle during the decoupling release action to reduce the peak release force.
