Abstract
In combination with a manually operated crimper for tightening ear clamps in which the tool has two complementary lever arms with handles at one end and jaw portions at the other end of a backup disk. A disk is positioned in a slot in the arms of the tool and encircles and rotates around the tool pivot pin. An arcuate anvil is positioned at the outer periphery of the disk and forms an outer backup surface. Anvil shoulders at each end of the anvil coact with shoulders on the arms. The disk is rotated and held adjacent the jaw portions as the jaws close for engaging the clamp ear.
