Abstract
A tool for simultaneously gripping and positioning a hollow crimping sleeve adjacent a crimping means and retaining two elongate electrical conductors with their bared ends within such hollow sleeve to allow the crimping of such sleeve and conductor ends into a mechanical and electrical joint. A base contains a central sleeve support covered by two separately operable arms, each of which contains a partial sleeve support and cable retaining means. With the sleeve fully supported and the cable positions fixed, the centrally located crimping means is activated by hammering the crimping means or tightening a fastener on a threaded stud.
