Abstract
A tool for crimping an elongate electrical contact to an end of an electrical wire. The tool includes a locating device supported adjacent the crimping dies of the crimping tool for supporting and locating the contact in proper position between the dies. Upon crimping, the contact is subject to deformable elongation in its longitudinal direction. The locating device is supported to the tool against the bias of the spring to be movable away from the tool to accommodate such contact elongation caused during crimping.
