Abstract
A head for a crimping tool assembly comprises a generally “C” shaped body which can withstand repeated tensile forces. The “C” shaped body comprises an elongated beam portion and a first arm extending in a given direction from a first end of the beam portion and a second arm extending in the given direction from an opposing end of the beam portion. The beam portion has opposed first and second elongated sides, with the plane of the first and second sides extending generally parallel to the given direction. The beam portion also has an inside elongated third side extending transversely of the given direction between the first and second sides. The beam portion further includes an outside elongated fourth side extending transversely of the given direction between the first and second sides. The third and fourth sides of the beam comprise continuous walls of a given thickness. The beam portion has a plurality of internal support ribs which extend between the first and second sides transversely of the given direction. The ribs are connected at one end to the third side wall and at their opposing end to the fourth side wall. The beam portion also has a plurality …
