Abstract

The invention relates to a tool for the wiring of terminal elements which permits a plurality of separate operations such as connecting and withdrawing of a wire to and from a terminal element, respectively, and severing of the wire, to be carried out, and which may be manufactured at low cost because of its simple structure. To this end the tool comprises a bipartite plastic grip member (3) accommodating a ram (2) and a striker mechanism. On a protruding ram head (2a) there is provided a wire cutter (6) which may be actuated through a pin-and-slot guide (5, 6c) during a connecting operation. Locking means function to releasably connect the ram (2) to a slider (8) accommodated within the grip member (3) so as to be longitudinally movable.
