  • Patent number: 8656580
    Abstract: A tool for coupling a connector to a wire is provided. The tool includes a first handle coupled to move a connecting head from a first position to a second position. A second handle is operably coupled to the first handle. A die block is rotationally coupled to the second handle and has a first connecting section and a second connecting section. A pair of support arms is pivotally coupled to the die block adjacent the first connecting section. The pair of support arms each having a body with an opening. The openings cooperate to define a circular opening when in the closed position. The circular opening is sized to provide 360 degrees of support to an end of the connector when the connecting head is in the second position. A biasing member is coupled to the pair of support arms to bias the support arms towards the closed position.
