ABSTRACT:
A tool for crimping a sheet metal clasp around overlapped lengths of nonmetallic strapping material. The sheet metal clasp, after being placed around the strapping, is inserted into the tool which can then be operated to cause two lips on the clasp to fold over and constrict the clasp around the strapping material. The tool has two jaws, one of which is elongated, which facilitate this folding action. The elongated first jaw is positioned to fold over a first lip on the clasp prior to the other jaw folding the second lip. In this manner the second jaw can fold the second lip over the first lip thereby securing the clasp. The jaws of the tool are of a solid and unitary construction and are adapted to deform the clasp around the strapping to further strengthen the seal.
