Abstract

A crimper for crimping terminals of electrical conductors includes upper and lower elongated members pivoted to one another and having rear handle portions. A first crimping component is provided anterior to the pivot point of the elongated members and includes a first press member formed on the lower elongated member and a first stepped recess formed on the upper elongated member. A second crimping compenent is provided posterior to the pivot point and includes a second press member and a second stepped recess respectively formed on the upper and lower elongated members. Both first and second press members are attached pivotally to the lower and upper elongated member so that the press members can be guided easily into the stepped recesses to effect crimping operations.
