A system for installing a cord sleeve includes a first lever arm, the first lever arm including a first protrusion approximately perpendicular to the first lever arm. The system further includes a second lever arm, the second lever arm including a second protrusion approximately perpendicular to the second lever arm. The first and second lever arm intersect at a pivot point and are pivotally attached to each other at the pivot point, such that the first protrusion and the second protrusion are parallel and adjustment to each other, the first lever arm and the second lever arm having a first position where the first protrusion and the second protrusion are together and a second position where the first protrusion and the second protrusion are separated. The system further includes the first lever arm includes a ball portion at the pivot point.
