Abstract
A crimping tool with a pliers-like lever action includes a jaw portion constructed of interleaving plates for surrounding the crimp element and applying a uniform crimping force when the tool is closed in a lever action. The crimp receiving notches are of a deep 'v' configuration to maximize application of the lever force to the crimp element. An integral decrimping tool permits non-destructive removal of a crimp from an crimp/receiver assembly.
