A tool, especially for use in the splicing of telephone wires, comprises a conveyor wheel which is rotatable to convey the leading terminal of a side-by-side strip of channel-shaped electrical terminals, connected together by carrier strips of plastics material, onto a crimping anvil. A terminal strip guide block, which is exchangeable, partially surrounds the conveyor wheel and bears cutting blades, which by reason of the movement of the strip of terminals with respect to the guide block, sever the leading terminal from the strip prior to its being positioned on the anvil. A movable crimping die, which is also exchangeable, is provided which cooperates with the anvil for crimping the leading terminal to wires which have been previously inserted into the terminal. The guide block carries a blade which enters a slot in the movable die to trim the wires prior to the crimping operation taking place. Since the strip cutting and wire cutting blades are disposed on the guide block, the tool can be changed over for use with terminals of different length simply by exchanging the guide block and the crimping die.
