Abstract: A plier tool for crimping electrical connectors to wires includes two plier handles that are pivotally connected together by a pivotal coupling that allows for rotation of the handles, towards and away from one another. The two plier handles each have gripping portions that are graspable by a user to rotate the plier handles about the axis of rotation. A crimping die is located on each plier handle, at an end opposite of the gripping portion thereof, and rotation of the plier handles causes the crimping dies to be moved towards and away from one another between engaging and non-engaging positions. The crimping die, together, define an opening that is configured to receive an electrical connector in a manner that positions the electrical connector in an endwise direction that is generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A crimping tool having an angled crimping portion and a method to use the crimping tool are provided. The angled crimping portion can be angled relative to the crimping tool handle or pivoting portion. The angled crimping portion can also be replaceable with various angled crimping portion having various angles. The angled crimping portion is also adjustable at different angles as needed by the user.

Abstract: A specialty tool to aid in twisting of up to six (6) individual wires for a cable assembly is herein disclosed, comprising a series of six (6) parallel channels perpendicular to the fulcrum line of the pliers. Each channel is sized to hold one (1) individual wire, facilitated by a one-way fixture that slightly penetrates the wires insulation thus holding it securely. Once the wires are in the tool, the jaws can be locked together and can be rotated in either direction to twist the wires. This procedure would be used with cable assembly during manufacturing processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a crimping tool (1) having crimp indentors and a through-opening for the introduction of a cable end which is to be crimped, introduction of the cable end being limited by an adjustable stop part (2) which is fixedly connected to the crimping tool (1), but is preferably operationally releasable, furthermore, the stop part (2) having different stop pins (3) which can be selectively activated by being pushed down and, if a different stop pin (3) is selected, the activated stop pin (3), which is biased into its non-activated position, having to be released from the stop position. In order to provide a crimping tool with a stop part for which there is advantageous adjustment from one activated stop pin to another activated stop pin, it is proposed that the activated stop pin (3) is retained by a spring latching means formed by a retaining spring (6), and the spring latching means can be deactivated by a release movement of the stop part (2).

Abstract: A fence clip installation tool includes a pair of handles pivotally joined to respective jaws pivotally maintained between two plates to enable the jaws to counter-rotate in unison. Clips of a compatible design may then be nested between the jaws and compressed or deformed about objects upon closure of the handles.

Abstract: Provided are tools, tool kits, and associated methods for forming and/or clasping needs associated with, for example, jewelry making activities. The tools herein releasably secure forming pegs and restrain lateral movement of the forming pegs to a first line of action. The tools also translate an actuation force along a second line of action to relative lateral movement of the forming pegs along the first line of action.

Abstract: The present invention relates to crimping pliers for crimping a work piece. The crimping pliers comprise two hand levers. The hand levers are linked with tools or dies for applying a crimping movement upon the work piece. The dies are housed in a head of the crimping pliers. A locator has a pivoting degree of freedom with respect to the head around a pivoting axis which has an orientation parallel to a main extensional plane of said head and transverse to the degree of freedom of the dies during the crimping process. The locator comprises an activating element with an extension being designed and arranged such that said extension is located in the access area of a finger of a hand of a user of said pliers gripping or contacting the hand levers.

Abstract: A flairing device having a handle and a body connected to the handle. The body includes an inner wall forming an open ended chamber in the body. The open ended chamber has an opening at one end of the body. An outer wall forms an edge with the inner wall at the one end of the body.

Abstract: A crimper tool for closing a pipe support assembly having first and second locking members. The crimper tool includes a first member having a first handle and a first jaw with a first engagement surface for engaging the second locking member. The crimper tool also includes a second member pivotally coupled to the first member and having a second handle and second jaw with a second engagement surface for engaging the first locking member, an upper support surface for engaging an outside surface of the support assembly, a guide surface for engaging a second end of the support assembly, and a lower support surface for engaging an inside surface of the support assembly. Squeezing the first and second handles together pivots the first and second members thereby moving the first and second jaws toward one another and urging the first and second locking members together to lockingly engage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tool for pipe bending comprising at least two branches (1, 3), at least one link arm (8), at least one former (7), and at least one sliding jaw (9), said at least one former (7) and said at least one sliding jaw (9) being intended to be placed on either side of a pipe (12) to be bent, and said at least one former (7) being fitted to, or constituting a part of, a first branch (1) of said at least two branches (1, 3) at the same time as said at least one sliding jaw (9) being fitted to, or constituting a part of, a second branch (3) of said at least two branches (1, 3). At least one of said at least one former (7) has at least one pipe-positioning index (18, 19), one of which is intended to be placed as close as possible to a corresponding bending-measure index on the pipe (12) when the pipe (12) is placed in the tool in order to be bent.

Abstract: A bead crimping tool for crimping a bead element and method for use, wherein the tool includes a base handle, a crush plate member, a pair of opposed pincer members, an actuator handle, and a crush arm member. The bead element is placed on the crush plate and preferably secured in place by the crush arm. Crimping the bead includes squeezing of the actuator handle. During a first portion of such actuation, a cam portion of the actuator handle cases the pincer members to impart a lateral compressive force to a lateral portion of the bead element sufficient to collapse the bead element in a lateral direction. During a subsequent second portion of the single actuation cycle, the crush arm is caused to impart a longitudinal compressive force about a top portion of the bead element sufficient to compress the collapsed bead element in a longitudinal direction.
