A die set for crimping operations includes first and second die members having raised areas including a plurality of knurls and character areas. The die set combining knurls and character areas on the operative areas of the die members allows a single die set to be used to condition a surface for crimping operations as well as crimping connectors and marking them with relevant indicia without having to change die sets.

A crimping die including a first die piece having a recess portion and a second die piece having a protrusion portion is provided. An inner wall surface of the recess portion has a bottom wall surface and recess-side lateral end surfaces. An outer surface of the protrusion portion has a top end surface and protrusion-side lateral end surfaces. The bottom wall surface has a recess-side projection portion, a recess-side concave portion, and a recess-side curvature changing portion. The top end surface has a protrusion-side projection portion, a protrusion-side concave portion, and a protrusion-side curvature changing portion. A sign of curvature of the bottom wall surface changes at a boundary portion in the recess-side curvature changing portion with respect to the recess-side concave portion. A sign of curvature of the top end surface changes at a boundary portion in the protrusion-side curvature changing portion with respect to the protrusion-side concave portion.

A hand-actuated crimping tool for manipulating electrical cables includes a pair of crimping grips which are pivotally connected for movement between open and closed positions and a crimping head for gripping a cable. An electronic counter including an electronic circuit and a signaling device is connected with one of the grips and is operable to count each time the crimping tool is operated.

A crimp tool having jaw members joined in a tongue-in-groove connection held in place by a locking pin. Each jaw member being tapered and including weight reducing pockets defined in respective sidewalls. Each jaw member includes a locking tab on an outside edge that mates with a respective locking tab opening in the neck of the tool. When the locking pin is removed, the jaws of the tool separate and rotate away from one another until their respective locking tabs engage their respective locking tab opening, thereby holding the opened jaws in the neck of the tool.

A crimping hand tool configured to crimp a cable and a connector together is provided. The crimping hand tool includes a first body, a second body, a limiting member, a crimping member, and an adjustment member. The second body is pivoted to the first body. The limiting member is disposed in the second body. The crimping member is movably disposed in the second body and linked with the first body, the crimping member being partially interfered with the limiting member and having only one degree of freedom of movement along an axis. The adjustment member is disposed in the second body, rotating about the axis, and screwed with the crimping member. The adjustment member being forced by an user to adjust a position of the crimping member in the second body along the axis.

The invention is related to a crimping tool. The crimping tool includes a connection rod having one end pivotally connected to the first handle and the other end of the connection rod pivotally connected to a crimp section. A first screw rod is disposed at the second handle of the crimping tool. The first screw rod drives the connector which leads the first handle to displace. The movement of the first handle leads a connection rod to displace. As a result, the position of a crimp section on the first handle can be adjusted.

A crimping tool for an electrical connector includes a frame defining an interior, a handle rotatably coupled with the frame, and a receptacle disposed within the interior of the frame and configured in size and shape to receive an electrical connector. The crimping tool further includes a push member, coupled with the handle, configured to apply a compressive force to an electrical connector disposed within the receptacle responsive to actuation of the handle relative to the frame and a blade coupled to the frame, to the receptacle, or to the push member, so as to be actuatable to cut excess wiring from an electrical connector disposed within the receptacle.
