Title: Assembly tool for use in attaching fiberglass tool handles

Abstract: An assembly tool for use in attaching fiberglass handles to tools and the like. A tape applicator is mounted for reciprocal vertical movement by a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. A tool head is mounted beneath the applicator with masking tape overlying one end of the tool head opening. The applicator comprises a hollowed resilient pad which draws the masking tape tightly across the top of the opening and then presses it into sealing engagement with the entire periphery of the opening. The opening is thereby sealed against leakage of potting compound inserted into the opening to bond a handle to the tool head.
