ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a tool for connecting a cable fitting to the end of a coaxial cable. The tool is made up of one or more dies with a cavity therein, a carrier chuck which is axially spaced from the die surfaces to support the fitting in relation to the end of the cable, and a handle pivotally mounted to cause axial movement of the carrier chuck. The carrier chuck is pushed toward the die surfaces to axially force the fitting into the die cavity to reduce the circumference of one end of the fitting into a generally conical configuration securely engaging the cable. A radial ratchet mechanism on the handle prevents the carrier chuck from moving away from the die until the fitting has been fully and properly secured to the cable. The dies are specially shaped to have a guiding portion which smoothly and consistently guides the fitting into proper relation to the dies, and a stop limiting portion to prevent the fitting from being forced too far into the die. An O-ring upon the carrier chuck assists in maintaining the proper position of the fitting upon the carrier chuck.
