Abstract
A crimp tool is provided for crimping a workpiece. The crimp tool includes a crimp head having a crimp jaw. The crimp jaw includes opposing upper and lower jaw members arranged along a crimp axis. The lower jaw member is movable along the crimp axis relative to the upper jaw member. A handle is mounted to the crimp head. The handle includes a frame and a lever rotatably mounted on the frame for rotation relative to the frame between an open position and a closed position. A cam is operatively connected between the lever of the handle and the lower jaw member of the crimp head. The cam is configured to translate rotational movement of the lever relative to the frame into movement of the lower jaw member along the crimp axis.
