Abstract From the Canadian patent

A forceps type hand tool is constructed for gripping individual wires, either discrete or in a cable array and, forcibly inserting the gripped wire within a slot of a slotted plate electrical terminal. The tool is provided with a clearance for a bowed portion of the wire formed by insertion of the wire into the slot of the terminal. The working portion of the tool laterally supports the terminal preventing its collapse or deformation and is machined specially to provide for ease of entry of the wire into the clearances around the terminal.
