An approach for assembling a hard drive to a hard drive carrier is provided. The approach includes an ergonomic tool to aid with assembly. The ergonomic tool allows for a reduction in assembly time and prevents damage to the components. The ergonomic tool comprising of a base having a first surface and a first end open for receiving the components. The tool has a set of walls rising from the base, a first wall rising from the base proximate a second end opposite the first end and a pair of opposing side walls including voids rising from the first surface between the first end and the second end, to form a slot there between to receive the components within and adjacent the first surface. The tool has a releasable hold mechanism that aligns the components during assembly.
