ABSTRACT:
A tool for securing a connector on a conductor using an explosive charge includes a first tool member, a second tool member, a drive member, a lock member and a limiting member. The second tool member is movably mounted on the first tool member. A breech chamber is defined in at least one of the first and second tool members. The breech chamber is adapted to receive the explosive charge. A breech opening is defined in at least one of the first and second tool members. The breech opening communicates with the breech chamber. The tool is adapted to forcibly move the drive member responsive to an explosion of the explosive charge in the breech chamber. The second tool member is movable between a closed position, wherein the breech opening is closed, and an open position, wherein the breech opening is open to allow loading and unloading of the explosive charge into and from the breech chamber, by moving the second tool member relative to the first tool member. The lock member is selectively movable between a locked position, wherein the lock member prevents the second tool member from moving relative to the first tool member from the closed position to the open position, and an unlocked position, wherein the lock member permits the second tool member to move relative to the first tool member from the closed position to the open position. The limiting member is selectively movable between a first position, wherein the limiting member prevents movement of the lock member from the locked position to the unlocked position, and a second position, wherein the limiting member permits the lock member to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.
