Abstract
A tool for installing a retaining ring onto the threaded shank of a bolt to form a captive panel fastener. Alignment tabs formed on the retaining ring are positioned into cutout portions formed in the nose area of the tool. The tool and ring are then engaged onto the bolt from the outer end by first aligning visual markings formed on the tool jaws with longitudinal slots formed on the bolt shank. Force is then applied to the tool to crimp the ring and deform it while forcing tangs on the ring into the slots. The ring is prevented from being removed from the bolt slots while being free to move therealong.
