ABSTRACT:
The present insulation displacement contact wire insertion tool that is used to enable a craftsperson to perform the various wire manipulation tasks required to insert and remove wires in insulation displacement contact connectors and terminal blocks. The wire insertion tool enables the craftsperson to place the wire in a stuffer blade that protrudes from the tip of the wire insertion tool while also threading the wire through a pair of wire cutting blades. The craftsperson can use the stuffer blade to press the wire into the insulation displacement contact and then operate the spring loaded cutting blades to cut the length of wire and receive an audible feedback that sufficient force has been applied to perform the operation. The single action of pressing the wire on to the insulation displacement contact both compresses the spring, installs the wire on the insulation displacement contact, and provides the audible feedback. The audible feed back is provided independently of whether the selector is set to cut the wire or to disable the wire cutter. The craftsperson can therefore perform the wire insertion and wire cutting functions with a single tool and with a single motion. The wire insertion tool also houses additional working blades for use by the craftsperson and can be set into a non-cutting mode where the tool installs the wire on the insertion displacement contact without cutting the wire.
