Pressure gauges according to this invention provide pressure measurement on all brands of crimping tools, including 6-Ton D3 tools. In particular, this design eliminates the need to remove the tool crimp head to measure the pressure of the crimping tool. Additionally, this design eliminates the need to install additional dedicated fixtures on the crimping tool to measure the ram pressure. This design incorporates a self-centering profile to avoid side-loading when mounting the pressure gauge in the crimping tool. The dial indicator on pressure gauges of this invention captures and holds the maximum pressure reading with the use of a simple manual lever. The lever can be easily reset for the next pressure reading. Pressure gauges according to various embodiments of this invention include dual piston pressure sensors. Additionally, pressure measurement is accomplished with a simple hydro mechanical manometer display.

A terminal locator for a hand tool includes a base, a magnet, and a holder attached to the base and rotatable with respect to the base between an open position and a closed position. The holder has a magnet passageway and a resilient latch retaining the magnet in the magnet passageway.

A device for applying an insulating sleeve to an electrosurgical instrument, the device comprising a housing, the housing comprising: a first end; a second end; a hollow channel extending from the first end to the second end, the channel being configured to receive an electrosurgical instrument comprising an end effector connected to a shaft by a distal articulation; a support structure internal to the housing; the support structure being configured to: support an insulating sleeve such that the insulating sleeve surrounds the electrosurgical instrument when the electrosurgical instrument is received by the channel; and when the electrosurgical instrument is advanced through the channel from the first end to the second end, release the insulating sleeve onto the electrosurgical instrument.
