Abstract
A handling tool is provided for installing fastening devices such as pedicle screws in a constrained or limited space. The fastening device may be releasably secured with the handling tool to simplify installation procedures. The handling tool includes a one piece, releasable socket having a cavity sized to receive a portion of the fastening device therein. One or more flexible arms may be formed as an integral part of the socket for releasably securing the fastening device within the cavity. For some applications a plurality of flexible arms and/or longitudinal slots may be formed in the handling tool to limit the amount of torque applied to the fastening device.
