The tool comprises a sleeve shaped, hollow body (14) with an internal shape configured to retain a clamp (10) at least during an initial phase of clamp attachment process to the supporting surface. A ramming body (15) is slidably arranged in the hollow body (14), the ramming body (15) being intended to hit or ram the clamp (10) into the supporting surface. The ramming body (15) further have a length which is larger than the length of the sleeve shaped hollow body (14) and wherein one end of the ramming unit (15) preferably being configured to form a proper supporting surface for the clamp (10).
One end of the ramming body (15) being provided with an attached clamp driver (24) intended to cooperate with a corresponding ramming surface (13) on the clamp (10). At least one inner side surface of the walls of the sleeve shaped body (14) is provided with a surface or a tongue (25) extending into the opening for attachment of the clamp (10) in the first phase of the clamp attachment process.
