Abstract
A pincer-like tool for attaching a selected slotted plastic head to the shank of a key and for detaching the head therefrom. The tool has a pair of pivotally connected members, one of which provides the body of the tool and has opposite flat-surfaced sides, each of which is designed to receive and hold a slotted plastic head in position to have the shank of a key forced into its slot or expelled therefrom -- depending upon which of the two sides of the body the head is placed on -- by the advance of a carriage that is slidably mounted on the body; the other one of the pivotally connected members being a short and long armed bell crank lever having its short arm drivingly connected with the carriage and its long arm overlying a handle on the body to form a pair of pincers which, upon being gripped and squeezed together, advance the carriage.
