An adaptable hand operated tool for tensioning safety cable to a predetermined tension limit, crimping a ferrule onto the cable, and cutting the cable. The tool comprises a body for adapting the tool to a hand operated hydraulic tool, a cable tensioner, and an elongated, removable nose. The cable tensioner comprises a wheel for applying tension to a cable wrapped around the wheel, and a clutch for prohibiting a rotational force from being applied to the wheel when a predetermined cable tension is applied. The elongated has an aperture for receiving a ferrule and passing the cable therethrough. A plunger is reciprocally operative in the nosepiece to crimp the ferrule on the safety cable and simultaneously severing a free end of the cable. The plunger is actuated by a piston of a hand operated hydraulic base tool.
