Abstract
The invention relates to a crimping tool (1) having crimp indentors and a through-opening for the introduction of a cable end which is to be crimped, introduction of the cable end being limited by an adjustable stop part (2) which is fixedly connected to the crimping tool (1), but is preferably operationally releasable, furthermore, the stop part (2) having different stop pins (3) which can be selectively activated by being pushed down and, if a different stop pin (3) is selected, the activated stop pin (3), which is biased into its non-activated position, having to be released from the stop position. In order to provide a crimping tool with a stop part for which there is advantageous adjustment from one activated stop pin to another activated stop pin, it is proposed that the activated stop pin (3) is retained by a spring latching means formed by a retaining spring (6), and the spring latching means can be deactivated by a release movement of the stop part (2).
