Abstract
A crimper includes two elongated handle members each having a press portion, and a solid head member disposed between the two press portions of the elongated handle members. The head member has a plurality of differently-sized receiving spaces, two opposed contact faces and a plurality of sets of throughbore pairs extending from one of the contact faces. A plurality of press members are respectively disposed in the throughbores but protrude out from one of the contact faces. When the first and second handle members are pivoted to the head member, the handle members can pivot relative to the head member between a gripping position, wherein the press portions abut with the contact faces and urge the press members to extend into the respective receiving spaces, and a releasing position, wherein the press portions of the first and second handle members are spaced from the contact faces to permit the press members to extend out of the contact faces.
