Abstract
A connector banding tool includes a clutch tensioning arrangement to develop sufficient tension within a band surrounding a multi-conductor cable in order to secure a ground shield of said cable against a connector housing. The tool further includes a bending and cutting arrangement to cut and bend the band near the band buckle to a desired position in which the band may be bent over on top of the buckle to finally secure the band upon the connector housing. The described connector banding tool permits one-handed two-step operation including a first step of developing tension within the band surrounding the connector housing and a second step combining the bending and cutting of the band to leave a small upstanding portion near the buckle.
