Abstract

See full text

A tool for mounting a terminal onto a stud contact is disclosed. The tool has a receptacle, a stud detector, and an indicator. The receptacle is open in a mounting direction and receives the terminal. The stud detector detects a final installation position of the stud contact within the receptacle. The indicator is visible from an exterior of the tool and is connected to the stud detector. The indicator has a first visual appearance and a second visual appearance different from the first visual appearance, and automatically switches between the first visual appearance and the second visual appearance based on whether the stud contact is in the final installation position.
