Patent ID: 7413693

Claim:
A method of making a wire connector fastening tool comprising the steps of: providing an elongate monolithic body having a first end, a second end, and an outer surface between the first and second ends, the outer surface having an outside diameter that is generally uniform between the first and second ends of the body; forming a first internal axial bore with a first inside diameter that extends from the first end of the body to a point between the first and second ends of the body; forming a second internal axial bore with a second inside diameter that extends from the second end of the body to the first axial bore so that the first and second axial bores define an internal passage that extends axially through the body, the second inside diameter being larger than the first diameter; forming at least two notches in the first end of the body that extend radially outwardly from the first axial bore toward the outer surface of the body and open axially outwardly from the first end of the body; and forming at least two notches in the second end of the body that extend radially outwardly from the second axial bore toward the outer surface of the body and open axially outwardly from the second end of the body.
