Abstract
A tool is disclosed for dispensing connectors from a multiple chamber magazine and for assembling the connectors onto multiple electrical wires. The tool includes a ram which is adjustable in size to accommodate different sized connectors. One handle of the tool incorporates a passageway having multiple walls which align and support each chamber of the magazine. A spring loaded ejector or thrust arm slideably straddles one magazine chamber and enters an open side of the chamber to urge the connectors therein toward a work station of the tool whereat the connectors are engaged by the ram for assembly onto the wires.
