A tool provides for coupling a first prosthetic to a second prosthetic. The tool can include a first arm having a first concave bearing surface configured to apply a force in a first direction. The tool can also include a second arm having a hook shaped member. The hook shaped member can have a second concave bearing surface configured to apply a force in a second direction opposite the first direction. The first arm and the second arm can be generally parallel, and the first arm can be translatable with respect to the second arm. The tool can include a translation force mechanism, which can apply force to the first arm and the second arm so as to cause generally parallel translation of the first arm and second arm.
