  • HAND TOOL FOR STRIPPING WIRE AND CRIMPING WIRE CONNECTORS
    Publication number: 20150188272
    Abstract: A hand tool for stripping an electrical conductor and crimping a connector to the exposed electrical conductor includes jaws bent at a significant angle. The axis of the crimping indents and detents in the jaws are primarily perpendicular with the longitudinal axis of the hand tool. The wire stripping blade/orifices are disposed in an extension of the jaws bent at approximately 90 degrees and oriented generally parallel with the longitudinal axis of the hand tool to permit pulling on the wire toward a user and thereby facilitate stripping the wire in a confined space.
