Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a terminal-treating tool for easily performing assembly operation, and at the same time preventing a cap from falling off. SOLUTION: A terminal 52 of a string 50 is passed through a cap 30, from the side of a narrow-diameter part 36 and is drawn toward the side of an opening 34 of an insertion hole 32. Then, when the terminal 52 of the string 50 is pressed against a head part 12 of a hook 10 and a terminal 52 is pinched by leg parts 14 and 24, nibs 16 and 26 of leg parts 14 and 24 bite into the terminal 52. In this state, a hook 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 32 of the cap 30 from the side of the leg parts 14 and 24. Then, the tips of the leg parts 14 and 24 abut on the narrow-diameter part 36 of the cap 30. Since the nibs 16 and 26 bit into the terminal 52, the hook 10 and the cap 30 cannot be disengaged from the terminal 52, even if the cap 30 is pulled.
