Abstract: A hand tool (1) comprising a first handle (2) and a second handle (3), which are pivotally arranged with respect to each other, a first jaw (4) that is fixed to said first handle (2), the first jaw (4) comprising a first crimp portion (6), and a second jaw (5) comprising a second crimp portion (7), wherein the first and second crimp portions (6,7) are arranged to be moved towards each other by actuation of the first and a second handle (2,3), so as to close a crimp opening (8) formed between said first and second crimp portions (6,7). The second jaw (5) is pivotally arranged with respect to the first handle (2) around a first pivot point (10), and with respect to the second handle (3) around a second pivot point (11) arranged at an upper end of said second handle (3), wherein the first handle (2) comprises a first resilient portion (12) between the first crimp portion (6) and the first pivot point (10), allowing the first crimp portion (6) to flex with respect to the first pivot point (10).

Abstract: A crimping tool is disclosed for crimping items to a substantially ellipsoidal shape. The crimping tool includes a first and a second die arranged to interact with each other, each including a circular segment surface, wherein the dies are arranged such that the circular segments are opposed to each other forming a substantially ellipsoidal shape between them. The first die is pivotally arranged to move in a part circular movement with respect to the second die, substantially without rotating around its own center, wherein the circular segment of the first die at a trailing end thereof includes an edge arranged to follow the circular segment surface of the second die, thereby continuously closing a first end of the substantially ellipsoidal shape between the circular segments.

Abstract: A hand operated crimping tool with at least three crimping dies, the crimping surfaces of which together enclose a crimp opening arranged to receive a workpiece to be crimped. The crimping dies have movable pivot points that move when the handles of the tool are moved relative to each other. Each of the crimping dies is arranged between two guide elements on the body of the crimping tool and further has a respective cam surface and a respective stop surface, the respective cam surface being arranged to cooperate with a guide surface on one of the guide elements and the respective stop surface being arranged to cooperate with a guide surface on the other one of the guide elements, thus guiding the movement of the respective crimping die when the pivot points for the crimping dies are moved relative to the body of the crimping tool.
