A tool (30) for facilitating insertion or removal of a C-shaped spring clip in a burnable poison rod, or the like, includes an outer member (38) secured to a front handle (32) and an inner member (40) extending through the outer member and the front handle which is connected to a coaxial rear handle (34). The handles (32, 34) are interconnected for relative rotation by means of a set screw (64) and circumferential groove (56). The distal ends of the inner and outer members (38, 40) are notched to receive the spring clip and engage it for compression. Provided between the handles (32, 34) is a locking and release assembly (42) and an adjustable positioning ring (58) by which the spring clip can be compressed, locked in compressed condition for insertion, and then released in the desired position before withdrawing the tool. |
