A tool for applying resilient C-type clips to the edges of perforated panels for the reception of screw-type fasteners includes a pair of locating fingers adapted to overlie the surface of the panel, to locate the tool against vertical displacement, a hook-type locator engageable in the fastener-receiving aperture in the panel for horizontal and radial alignment, and a pusher adapted to hold a clip prior to installation and to force the clip into overengaged relation with the panel in registry with the fastener aperture. The stroke of the pusher is so related to the position of the hook-type locator and to the proportions of the clip that actuation of the pusher through a full stroke moves the clip into registry with the aperture in the panel regardless of the distance between such aperture and the edge of the panel.
