Abstract: Pliers for squeezing together the two parts of an electrical cord bushing for anchoring a cord portion. The pliers has a pair of power jaw elements, the gripping surface of which are formed with a plurality of differently-sized semicircular recesses, the two jaw surfaces cooperating to retain in oppositely-disposed recesses a busing for squeezing the two parts together. The pliers has a handle portion that is skew or offset from the power jaw elements to form an acute angle with the jaw elements so that the closed bushing may readily inserted into a hole of a chassis by the flush engagement of the rear surfaces of the jaw elements against the surface of the chassis in which is formed the hole for receiving the closed bushing.
