A tooling fixture that holds a head gimbal assembly (HGA) of a hard disk drive within a piece of test equipment. The tooling fixture includes a plurality of pads that extend from a top surface of a chimney. The HGA has a slider that is mounted to a flexure arm. The flexure arm extends from a base plate of the HGA. The base plate has a swage mount that is inserted into a corresponding aperture of the chimney when an operator loads an HGA into the tester. The pads of the chimney support the base plate and the HGA. The base plate is typically clamped onto the chimney by a spring biased clamp. The HGA is moved adjacent to a rotating disk of the tester. The pads provide a reliable contact surface that improves the repeatability of the HGA positioning which in turn can improve the tester.
