Abstract

The plier comprises a pair of jaw handles, a feed tube mounted rectilinearly through the intersection of the jaw handles. A transversely disposed knife blade mounted to the terminal end of the jaw extremity of one of the jaw handles, and an anvil jaw being mounted to the terminal end of the jaw extremity of the opposing jaw handle in approximate registry with the knife blade. The anvil jaw subassembly includes a mounting flange by which the anvil jaw is mounted to its respective jaw handle, and an L-shaped working flange which is pivotally mounted to the mounting flange transversely with respect to the plier. Further embodiments include a blade having transverse knives mounted in tandem with one of the blades being shorter in length than the other to provide combination crimper and cutter; a wire stripper which includes an L-shaped work flange having a V-shaped groove cut in the uppermost terminal edge of the work flange.
