Abstract: A removable blade assembly is provided for use with an impact termination tool to insert electrical conductors into termination clips and sever the end of the conductor. The blade assembly includes a scissors type cutter which is operated in conjunction with the impact operation under the influence of a biasing spring and cam follower associated with the movable cutting blade. Cutting is achieved either during wire insertion or subsequently upon impact, depending upon the amount of cutting resistance encountered. A wire removal hook is provided at the end of the blade assembly and is within the impact tool handle during impact operation. The blade assembly may be easily removed from the impact tool for replacement, storage, or use of the wire removal hook.
