Abstract
The disclosure relates to a semi-automatic helical insert tool that supports a pair of coils of feed strip having helical inserts thereon. The feed strip is fed through a strip guide to an indexing dial which advances an insert into drive position upon reciprocation of a manually operable trigger on the tool. Actuation of the trigger of the tool not only advances the helical insert into drive position but actuates an air motor to effect advancement of a drive tool into engagement with the insert and drive of the insert into a complementary aperture in a workpiece.
