Abstract: An apparatus (102) for holding at least one elongated workpiece (106) to be crimped, wherein the apparatus comprises a holder frame (122), a guide member (124) and a locator element (114) having at least one holder surface (116) defining an elongated cavity (118) for receiving and holding the workpiece. The holder frame is arranged to hold the guide member and the locator element, the at least one elongated cavity having a longitudinal main extension (120). The locator element is movable in a first guide (126) in the direction (127) of the longitudinal main extension. The guide member is movable in a second guide (128) in relation to the locator element in a direction (129) perpendicular to the direction (127) of the longitudinal main extension. The guide member and the locator element are slidably engaged with one another.

Abstract: A hand tool with a clampable operating area at an upper part of the tool, and two opposed handles extending to a lower part of the tool and being arranged to govern the clampable operating area between an open and a closed position, wherein a toothed pin is pivotally arranged between the handles extending downwards, wherein a support and a pawl are arranged on a first handle of the two handles at a distance from each other forming a space between them, in which space the toothed pin is to be received, and wherein an interaction of the toothed pin and the pawl impedes reverse motion of the handles during a closing action thereof, The interaction of the toothed pin and the pawl is such that reverse motion of the handles becomes possible at a specific release point that corresponds to a specific relative position of the handles.
