  • a body having an exterior surface and a peripheral edge that defines an opening to an interior cavity of the body, the body being capable of withstanding a vacuum in the interior cavity without collapsing; and

    a sealing member, the sealing member providing a fluid tight seal between the peripheral edge and an aircraft on which the tool is being used, the sealing member allowing the interior cavity to communicate with a pressure seal on the aircraft so that a vacuum can be created and held in the interior cavity to test the pressure seal on the aircraft.
