Abstract
There is disclosed, a kit of parts for a hand tool (2) for forming electrical tabs (T1,T2) projecting from cable end portions (FC1, FC2) to a plurality of different configurations. The kit of parts comprises a plurality of different tab forming dies (14,16,18), a base assembly (8) having thereon two spaced tab forming anvils (10,12) for co-operation respective ones of the dies (14,16,18), an upper tooling mount assembly (6) having a spline (60) for receiving a selected one of the dies (14,16,18), and an actuating mechanism (4). The tooling mount assembly (6) is mounted to the base assembly (8) so as to be moveable theretowards through a working stroke to cause the selected die (14,16,18), on the spline (60) to co-operate with the appropriate anvil (10,12) to form the tabs (T1 or T2) of a cable end portion (FC1,FC2) laid on a cable receiving surface (92,104) of the appropriate anvil (10,12) to a particular configuration determined by the choice of the die (14,16,18) and anvil (10,12). The actuating mechanism (4) has a moveable handle (32) which can be depressed to drive the tooling mount assembly (6) through its working stroke.
