Patent ID: 8272128

Claim:
A method of operatively attaching a connector to a cable, the connector having a central axis and first and second parts that are movable relative to each other along the central axis of the connector between: i) a pre-assembly relationship; and ii) an assembled relationship, the method comprising the steps of: providing a tool comprising a frame and an operating mechanism that is operable by a pressurized fluid, the frame having a grasping portion; placing the connector in an installation position within a receptacle on the frame; placing a part of the cable in an operative position with respect to the connector; gripping the grasping portion of the frame; and with a finger on the one hand that is gripping the grasping portion of the frame, repositioning a trigger on the operating mechanism to thereby cause delivery of pressurized fluid that causes a plunger to relatively move the first and second connector parts from the pre-assembly relationship into the assembled relationship.
