ABSTRACT:
A versatile, calibrated cable connector crimping tool capable of crimping a plurality of cable connector sizes and a method of forming a calibrated crimp or a plurality of calibrated crimps in a cable splice connector positioned around a cable splice along a cable using said crimping tool are disclosed. The crimping tool comprises a first die member having a plurality of dies of select sizes, a second die member having a single die of select size, and a hinge joint connecting said die members and allowing them to be swung into engagement. One die member has a die or dies which are spatially fixed to define a fixed die member. The other die member has a moving means along which the die or dies may be moved into a position allowing engagement of the die members to define a movable die member. A die of select size, appropriate as defined herein for the size of the connector and the cable, is selected from among the plurality of dies of the first die member and the movable die member is moved into a position allowing engagement of the die members. The tool is positioned about the connector and struck until said first and second die members engage, thereby forming a calibrated crimp.
