ABSTRACT:
To facilitate the insertion of a metal terminal with a waterproof seal into a cavity, a tool is provided with a stepped tubular portion and a grip portion connected to the tubular portion. The stepped tubular portion has, in one embodiment, four cylindrical portions having different outer diameters, and the outer diameters decrease stepwise toward a distal end of the tubular portion. A slit is formed in the tubular portion and extends from the distal end thereof into the fourth cylindrical portion. The slit has a width so as to allow a wire to pass therethrough. With this construction, the distal end of the cylindrical portion can easily push the waterproof seal without deformation.
