Abstract
A crimping tool comprising a top plate, a parallel bottom plate, a rigid arm disposed between the plates and being affixed thereto, a movable arm positioned adjacent the rigid arm and having one end thereof pivotally mounted to the plates adjacent one end of the rigid arm, the rigid arm and the movable arm being positioned and formed so that their free ends comprise opposed crimping jaws for allowing the positioning of a portion of a circle clamp therebetween when the arms are in an open position, the top plate having a sufficient width so as to rest atop the open jaws of a bench vise when the crimping jaws are fully opened, the bottom plate having a width no greater than the combined widths of the arms in order to allow the jaws of the bench vise to close against the arms, a spring for holding the crimping jaws open for facilitating the positioning of a portion of a circle clamp therebetween, and an alignment bolt for holding the crimping tool within the jaws of the bench vise whereby the crimping jaws extend beyond the jaws of the bench vise.
