HAND TOOL FOR TERMINAL CONNECTION OF ELECTRICAL CABLE TO AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ABSTRACT This invention relates to a hand tool for assembling an electrical cable to a terminal connector. Using prior art tools, problems arise when an operator exerts indeterminate force on the handle members of the tool during the aforesaid assembly operation, particularly when excess force is exerted by the operator. The present invention provides a hand tool for accommodating different sizes or configurations of terminal connector while avoiding excessive forces. According to the invention the hand tool includes a pair of hand operated opposing jaws for movement toward and away from each other. One of the jaws 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 same into the receptacle portion of the connector. A yieldable backing member is sandwiched between the bearing plate and the one Jaw to provide yielding movement there- between to accommodate variable sized terminal connector and to prevent damage to the electrical cable due to possible excessive 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 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 jaw.
