Abstract
A tool (10) for mounting a heat sink clip (80) to a CPU socket (100) includes a body (12) and a T-shaped handle (13). The body has a top surface (18) and a bottom surface (20). A protrusion (22) and a projection (26) are respectively formed downwardly from opposite sides of the bottom surface. A tongue (24) is formed at a free end of the projection. A cutout (32) is defined in the body between the bottom surface and the tongue, for receiving a pressing plate (92) of the clip. The handle extends upwardly from the top surface of the body. When the tool is downwardly pressed, the protrusion and projection downwardly press the clip to cause arms (84, 94) of the clip to downwardly and outwardly move and thereby engage with catches (102) of the socket.
