Low aspect ratio screw finder for receipt of a screw for disk drive assembly

A low aspect ratio screw finder for receipt and optimal alignment of a screw, the low aspect ratio screw finder is for use in conjunction with a complete screw bit assembly including a screw insertion assembly and a driver, the low aspect ratio screw finder comprising:

• a screw guide, wherein a tube of the screw insertion assembly intersects with the screw guide at an angle;
• a screw guide sleeve, wherein the screw guide is a plunger coupled to the screw guide sleeve for movement in and out of the screw guide sleeve, and wherein the screw guide plunger provides a surface to abut against the screw to maintain the screw in an optimal orientation for movement from the tube into a bottom portion of the screw insertion assembly;
• a retraction mechanism to retract the screw guide plunger into the screw guide sleeve to allow the screw to enter the bottom portion of the screw insertion assembly and to allow the driver to extend through the bottom portion of the screw insertion assembly to engage the head of the screw;
• and
• an air switch coupled to the screw guide sleeve, the air switch configured to provide air into the screw guide sleeve to cause the screw guide plunger to move to a mating position such that the surface of the screw guide plunger is positioned to abut against the screw to maintain the screw in the optimal orientation for movement from the tube into the bottom portion of the screw insertion assembly.
