Patent attributes
A device for fastening electrical wiring and the like to a support may include a tool with a bit, a housing, a central gear configured to be driven by the tool bit, two opposing planetary gears positioned to be driven by the central gear; and screws extending from the planetary gears. These planetary screws may have reverse threads so the central gear may be driven clockwise by a Philips head, flat head, Allen head or other bit configuration to advance the screws into the support. A clip may be used to center wiring between the screws and limit the depth to which the screws are driven into the support. The clip may be integral to the housing or integral standoffs may be provided to define a specific clearance between the housing and the support to prevent damage to the wiring.
