[0020] (2) The pressure head is set to a floating form through the first elastic member, which can provide a buffer for the pressure of the hidden handle and prevent the handle from being damaged due to excessive pressure;

[0021] (3) The slot of the clamping part is inclined from bottom to top towards the direction close to the pressure head. In this way, when the clamping part is clamped with the guard plate, the entire auxiliary tooling is in an oblique upward direction, thereby applying an oblique upward force to the hidden handle to ensure the tightening effect;

[0022] (4) The first fixing member and the second fixing member can realize the position limitation of the clamping part. On the other hand, the first fixing member is detachably fixedly connected to the tool body, which facilitates the replacement of the clamping part, thereby adapting to guard plates of different thicknesses and sizes, further improving adaptability;
