ABSTRACT:
A hand tool for polishing the tip of a fiber optic terminal. The tool includes a base having a central opening that receives a collet through which the fiber optic terminal extends. The fiber optic terminal is gripped by the collet as a collet spring force is exerted on the collet. An axial force is applied to the collet as the base rests on a polishing surface, the force being established by a piston spring that maintains the tip of the fiber optic terminal in contact with the polishing surface, whereby the tip of the fiber optic terminal may be polished.
