Abstract

Disclosed in a powered crimping tool for crimping a metallic terminal upon a wire lead for accomplishing both electric and mechanical connection therebetween, comprising: a casing having a die member attached thereto; an electric motor having an output shaft; a reduction unit for reducing the rotational speed of the output shaft of the electric motor, having a rotating output end; and a mechanism such as a slider crank mechanism for converting the rotary motion of the output end of the reduction unit into a rectilinear motion of a crimping punch member which cooperates with the die member. The casing which is shaped an elongated box accommodates a die member and a punch member at an longitudinal end thereof and an electric motor at the other longitudinal end thereof, a reduction unit being disposed therebetween. This powered crimping tool can be made light enough to be used on a desk top or held by the hand of the user.
