Abstract
A prewinder apparatus for selective attachment to an installation tool is provided. The prewinder apparatus includes a support structure selectively attachable to the installation tool, a prewinder attached to the support structure, the prewinder having first and second threaded apertures, and a mandrel having a threaded end and a coupling end. The threaded end is in threaded engagement with the second threaded aperture. The coupling end is in selective operable engagement with the drive tool, whereby the drive tool rotatably drives the mandrel relative to the prewinder for rotatably driving the helical coil insert through the second threaded aperture to prewind the helical coil insert.
