Abstract
The invention relates to a process for applying a ferrule to a lock wire and crimping the ferrule onto the lock wire. The process utilizes a lock wire having a ferrule applied to one end and which is placed through a plurality of threaded fasteners with a free end of a lock wire extending beyond the last of the threaded fasteners. The free end of the lock wire is inserted through a ferrule held in the apparatus and through a tensioning rod. Movement of the tensioning rod exerts a predetermined tension on the lock wire at which time the device crimps the ferrule onto the lock wire to retain it in place at the desired tension.
