ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically rotating screw-on connectors onto the stripped ends of electric wires, including an elongated housing having an inlet opening at one end for the reception of the connectors and an outlet opening at the other end for their discharge. The connectors are received in a rotatable and hollow drive shaft in the housing, and a sleeve is concentric with, around, and rotatable with the drive shaft. A plurality of fingers with a free end are secured to one end of the sleeve, which is axially movable towards the outlet opening by manually operated cam means acting between the housing and sleeve. Upon this axial movement, the fingers engage cam surfaces in the drive shaft and adjacent the outlet opening to cause gripping engagement of those fingers with a connector located adjacent the outlet opening.
