Abstract
A crimping tool for connecting a cable fitting to the end of a coaxial cable is made up of one or more die members having tapered die surfaces, a chuck which is axially spaced from the die surfaces to support the fitting in loosely assembled relation to the end of the cable, and a handle operates through a ratchet mechanism to cause axial movement of the chuck toward and away from the die surfaces and axially force the fitting into the die cavity so as to uniformly reduce the circumference of one end of the fitting into a generally conical configuration snugly engaging the cable.
