Abstract

A pliers-type handtool is provided for crimping an electrical connector upon one end of an insulated conductor, including a crimping drum that is mounted on a fixed member for rotation between first and second positions, and an actuating lever that is reciprocated by pivotal movement of the handle portions of the handtool to rotate the drum between its first and second positions. The actuating lever is connected with the drum by a lateral slot of divergent width that receives a drum pin that extends axially from one end of the drum, the slot having a width adjacent its bottom that corresponds generally with the diameter of the drum pin.
