Abstract
According to one example, a tool includes a second arm pivotally coupled to a first arm, a lead screw nut pivotally coupled to a second portion of the second arm, and a lead screw extending through an opening of the lead screw nut, the lead screw being pivotally and rotationally coupled to a second portion of the first arm. The tool has an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration. In the engaged configuration, a first portion of the first arm may be pivoted further from a first portion of the second arm when the lead screw is rotated. In the disengaged configuration, the first portion of the first arm may be pivoted closer to the first portion of the second arm without the lead screw being rotated.
