An installation tool for a fastener of the “pull screw” type, comprising a breakable gripping element includes a body, a first sleeve movable axially and rotationally in the body that can drive the gripping element, a second sleeve movable axially in the body and immovable in rotation, and a driving device provided with a turning shaft. The shaft comprises a first free wheel for driving the first sleeve in rotation, a second free wheel, and a driving element positioned coaxially around the second free wheel. The driving element cooperates using a helical link with the second sleeve. The first free wheel drives the first sleeve in rotation in a first rotation direction of the shaft. The second free wheel brings the driving element in rotation in a second rotation direction of the shaft to move the second sleeve axially, allowing full setting in a single operating sequence.
An installation tool for a fastener in a structure via a front face of said structure, said fastener being of the type including a pin comprising a shank with a head and a threaded end, a gripping element that can be fractured with the application of a predetermined fracture torque and a threaded sleeve capable of becoming deformed outwardly to form a bulb against a rear face of said structure:
