ABSTRACT:
A hand tool is disclosed for assembling or terminating an electrical cable to a terminal connector or the like which has a receptacle portion for receiving the cable. The hand tool includes a pair of hand operated opposing jaws for movement toward and away from each other. One of the jaws of the tool has a relatively rigid bearing plate defining a bearing surface facing the opposing jaw for engaging the terminal connector. The opposing jaw has a stuffer blade for engaging the cable and driving the cable into the receptacle portion of the connector. A resiliently yieldable backing member is sandwiched between the bearing plate and the one jaw to provide yielding movement therebetween to accommodate variable sized terminal connectors positioned between the jaws and to prevent damage to the electrical cable due to possible excessve pressure being applied when the cable is assembled to the connector. The bearing plate is mounted on the one jaw by a post member securely fixed at one end to the back side of the bearing plate. The post member extends through the yieldable backing member and is connected at its other end to the one jaw by lost motion means to accommodate yielding movement between the bearing plate and the jaw. In one form of the invention, the jaws of the tool form extensions of unitary handles in a plier-type tool. In another form of the invention, the jaws are pivotally connected to separate handle members by toggle-type connections.
