Abstract
A crimping tool for connecting a cable fitting to the end of a cable is made up of an elongated body having a lever arm pivoted at one end of the body to actuate a plunger having a chuck at one end toward and away from axially slidable die portions on the body, and the die portions can be expanded to permit insertion of the connector sleeve and cable into engagement with the end of the chuck and contracted to apply a uniform crimping force to the fitting in response to an axial force applied to the chuck to increase the crimping force causing the die portions to be further contracted into crimping engagement following which the die portions can be expanded to release the fitting and cable from the tool.
