    a shaft disposed through the opening, the shaft having threads formed thereon;

    an anvil coupled to the shaft;

    a button slidably disposed in the housing and transitionable between a first position wherein the threads of the shaft are engaged with threads on an inner surface of the button and a second position wherein the threads of the shaft are spaced apart from the threads on the inner surface; and

    first and second arm members coupled to the housing, the first and second arm members configured to engage a bone screw, the first and second arms movable towards a parallel configuration as the anvil is advanced away from the housing,wherein rotation of the shaft with the button in the first position translates into linear movement of the shaft relative to the housing and linear movement of the shaft with the button in the second position is independent of shaft rotation.
