An installation, insulation displacement, and terminating power tool, for inserting electrical wires into, and for electrically connecting the electrical wires to electrical contact members disposed within, an electrical connector, comprises a piston-cylinder driving assembly for inserting the electrical wires into the electrical connector. More particularly, the piston-cylinder driving assembly comprises a three-chamber pneumatic piston-cylinder driving assembly for developing an enhanced level of driving force necessary for inserting the electrical wires into the electrical connector.

The invention claimed is: 1. A tool for inserting a plurality of electrical wires into an electrical connector for mating with a plurality of electrical contact members fixedly mounted within the electrical connector, comprising: a base fixture upon which an electrical connector is to be installed; an insertion die holder upon which a set of insertion dies is mounted for encountering and forcing the plurality of electrical wires into the electrical connector; and a piston-cylinder driving assembly, comprising a piston rod and at least one piston mounted upon said piston rod and disposed within at least one piston chamber, for moving said insertion die holder toward said base fixture so as to cause said set of insertion dies, mounted upon said insertion die holder, to force the plurality of electrical wires into the electrical connector and mate with the electrical contact members of the electrical connector. 2. The tool as set forth in claim 1, wherein said piston cylinder driving assembly, comprising a piston rod and at least one piston mounted upon said piston rod and disposed within at least one cylinder chamber, comprises: a multi-chamber piston-cylinder driving assembly, comprising a plurality of pistons mounted upon said piston rod and disposed within a plurality piston chambers, for developing an enhanced force level necessary for moving said insertion die holder toward said base fixture so as to cause said set of insertion dies mounted upon said insertion die holder to force the plurality of electrical wires into the electrical connector and mate with the electrical contact members of the electrical connector. 3. The tool as set forth in claim 2, wherein said multi-chamber piston-cylinder driving assembly comprises: a cylinder housing; a plurality of members dividing said cylinder housing into a plurality of piston chambers; a single piston rod; a plurality of piston members fixedly mounted upon said single piston rod and respectively disposed within said plurality of piston chambers; means for conducting an actuating fluid into a first region of each one of said plurality of piston chambers disposed upon a first side of each one of said plurality of piston members so as to actuate said plurality of piston members in a first direction; and means for exhausting fluid from a second region of each one of said plurality of piston chambers disposed upon a second side of each one of said plurality of piston members so as to permit said plurality of piston members to be moved in said first direction. 4. The tool as set forth in claim 3, wherein said means for conducting the actuating fluid into said first region of each one of said plurality of piston chambers comprises: an axial bore defined within said single piston rod, and a plurality of transverse bores respectively fluidically connecting said axial bore with said plurality of piston chambers. 5. The tool as set forth in claim 4, wherein said means for exhausting fluid from said second region of each one of said plurality of piston chambers comprises: a plurality of exhaust passages defined within each one of said plurality of dividing members and extending through said cylinder housing for respectively fluidically connecting said second region of each one of said plurality of piston chambers to atmosphere. 6. The tool as set forth in claim 4, further comprising: an air fitting connector mounted upon said cylinder housing for supplying actuating pneumatic air fluid into said cylinder housing; and a pair of two-position flow control valves mounted upon said cylinder housing both of which must be simultaneously actuated in order to supply the actuating pneumatic air fluid into said cylinder housing. 7. A tool for inserting a plurality of electrical wires into an electrical connector for mating with a plurality of electrical contact members fixedly mounted within the electrical connector, comprising: a base fixture upon which an electrical connector is to be installed; an insertion die holder upon which a set of insertion dies is mounted for encountering and forcing the plurality of electrical wires into the electrical connector; a piston-cylinder driving assembly, comprising a piston rod and at least one piston mounted upon said piston rod, for moving said insertion die holder toward said base fixture so as to cause said set of insertion dies mounted upon said insertion die holder to force the plurality of electrical wires into the electrical connector and mate with the electrical contact members of the electrical connector; and single quick-release/quick-lock means for releasing and mounting said insertion die holder upon said piston rod of said piston-cylinder driving assembly so as to permit different insertion die holders, having different sets of insertion dies mounted thereon, to be exchanged in a relatively rapid manner. 8. A tool as set forth in claim 7, wherein said single quickrelease means for mounting said insertion die holder upon said piston rod of said piston-cylinder assembly, comprises: a keyhole shaped aperture, comprising a narrow slot entrance portion and a circular portion connected to said narrow slot entrance portion, formed within said piston rod; and a pin member, comprising a shaft section having a substantially circular crosssectional configuration with flat regions formed upon side surface portions of said shaft member, rotatably mounted upon said insertion die holder between a first rotational position at which said substantially circular cross-sectional shaft section of said pin member is disposed within said circular portion of said key-hole shaped aperture whereby said insertion die holder is disposed in a LOCKED state upon said piston rod, and a second rotational position at which said flat regions of said pin member are aligned with said narrow slot entrance portion of said key-hole shaped aperture whereby said insertion die holder is disposed in a RELEASED state upon said piston rod. 9. The tool as set forth in claim 8, wherein: said pin member has a handle portion integrally connected to said shaft section for facilitating rotation of said pin member between said first LOCKED state and said second RELEASED state. 10. The tool as set forth in claim 8, wherein: said single quick-release/quick-lock means for releasing and mounting said insertion die holder upon said piston rod of said piston-cylinder driving assembly comprises a quarter-turn fastener wherein said LOCKED and RELEASED states are disposed 90째 apart. 11. A tool for inserting a plurality of electrical wires into an electrical connector for mating with a plurality of electrical contact members fixedly mounted within the electrical connector, comprising: a base fixture upon which an electrical connector is to be installed; an insertion die holder upon which a set of insertion dies is mounted for encountering and forcing the plurality of electrical wires into the electrical connector; a piston-cylinder driving assembly for moving said insertion die holder toward said base fixture so as to cause said set of insertion dies mounted upon said insertion die holder to force the plurality of electrical wires into the electrical connector and mate with the electrical contact members of the electrical connector; and means mounted upon said base fixture for engaging the electrical connector so as to precisely locate and laterally immobilize the electrical connector upon said base fixture such that said set of insertion dies can accurately insert the electrical wires into the electrical connector.
