Abstract
A crimp tool includes a first handle, a head member pivoted to the front portion of the first handle to serve as a clamping member, and a second handle pivoted to the head member. The second handle is connected to the first handle through a mechanism which urges the second handle and the head member to the releasing position thereof. An adjustment member for the jaws of the crimp tool includes an adjustment screw rod and two nuts to adjust the position of a pivot pin in an oblong pivot hole which pivots the head member to the first handle member so that conductors of different cross-sections can be crimped effectively.
